CORONA CARPIO, Marcia Hortensia et al. Efficacy of Vimang extract in Grade I Subprosthetic Stomatitis. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2007, vol.44, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

A therapeutic clinical trial (phase III) was conducted in the Prosthesis Department of the Provincial Dental Clinic of Santiago de Cuba aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the antiinflammatory therapy with Vimang extract on the mucosa affected by grade I subprosthesis stomatitis in individuals wearing prostheses with acrylic bases. 100 patients were selected. 80 of them met our requirements and received our services from October 2005 to March 2006. They were divided at random into 2 groups of 40 patients each: a control group and a study group. The patients were worried about aesthetics. The first group was indicated mouthwashes with Vimang infusion extract until they cured. In the second group, spontaneous regression, the prosthesis was removed at night. They were evaluated at 3, 5 and 7 days to check their cure and adverse reactions. This time corresponded to the time devoted to the investigation. Chi square test with 95 % of confidence was used for the statistical validation of data. Most of the patients cured on the 5th day and astringent manifestations were observed. As the efficacy of the therapy with Vimang infusion was proved, its use on the long term was recommended.
