A therapeutic intervention study was carried out in 80 patients with pain after the extraction of third retained molars, in "José Ramón López Tabrane" Teaching Provincial Clinical-Surgical Hospital in Matanzas province, from January, 2012 to the same month of 2013, with the objective of evaluating their clinical course. For this purpose, 2 groups of 40 members each were formed; conventional treatment with dipyrone of 300 mg (control group) was indicated to one of them, and to the other homeopathy with Arnica montana in 30 ch (experimental group). The results demonstrated the existence of an alternative therapy that could be used when first election drugs have failed, either for their low effectiveness or for the emergence of adverse reactions. In the patients treated with Arnica montana, the effect was satisfactory; also, it can be said that this homeopathic remedy is safe and less expensive for the Cuban National Health System

Palabras clave : third retained molar; homeopathy; Arnica montana; natural and traditional medicine; dipyrone.
