The case report of a 75 years old man with history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus is presented. He went to the stomatological service to have the second left lower molar extracted, because it had a great destruction due to dental decay. After concluding the procedure the Vimang® cream was directly applied in the alveolus to accelerate the healing processes and avoid any immediate or mediate complication; then it was indicated 4 times a day after brushing his teeth. The patient achieved healing after 15 days and no adverse reaction was detected
