CORONA CARPIO, Marcia Hortensia; GONZALEZ RODRIGUEZ, Walkyria; LAO SALAS, Niurka  and  CAMPS MULLINES, Idalia. Vimang for the treatment of first degree denture stomatitis.  : A case presentation. . Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2007, vol.44, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out to evaluate the therapeutic results of the anti-inflammatory therapy based on mouthwashes with Vimang extract infusion and applied to a female patient who worn an acrylic denture and had her mucosa affected by first degree denture stomatitis. The natural product served to eliminate the lesion because of its great anti-inflammatory capacity; she was advised to use it four times a day and to take her denture out at night before going to sleep.  Curing was observed 5 days after Vimang application; the main sign was the feeling of oral mucosa retraction. No adverse effects were noted, so a long-term use of this product was recommended.
