Abstract

CREAGH CASTILLO, Yudelis; OLIVEROS NORIEGA-ROLDAN, Silvana  and  FRANCO MONTERO, Gustavo. Arnica montana as homeopathic treatment in patients with denture stomatitis of grades I and II. MEDISAN [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.6, pp.755-761. ISSN 1029-3019.

A study of therapeutic intervention in the module of San Benito, from Mayarí, II Frente municipality, Santiago de Cuba province was carried out in the first quarter of 2010, in order to evaluate the clinical course of 72 patients with denture stomatitis of grades I and II, alternatively distributed in 2 groups: in group A the odd numbers were included, with conventional therapy; and in group B the pairs, with treatment. In both groups the members of 45-54 years and female sex prevailed, as well as those cured at the third day (72.2 and 80.6%, respectively). The homeopathic treatment with arnica montana was as beneficial as the conventional therapy in same time for the clinical course and it had no adverse reactions, what justifies the use of this therapeutic modality which as others modalities of the natural and traditional medicine, it is innocuous, economic and of easy access

Keywords : dental prosthesis; denture stomatitis; homeopathy; arnica montana; natural and traditional medicine; stomatology.
