ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Tisuacryl is a biomaterial used in general and oral surgery, as well as in the treatment of aphthous stomatitis, considered a multifactorial process and currently the most common ulcerative disease of the oral cavity.
Objective:
to determine the effectiveness of Tisuacryl with respect to conventional therapy in the treatment of aphthous stomatitis in Consolación del Sur, Pinar del Río, in the period from September 2018 to March 2020.
Methods:
an analytical observational case-control study was conducted on 90 patients with aphthous stomatitis in Consolación del Sur, Pinar del Río, in the period from September 2018 to March 2020. Information was obtained from individual Periodontics medical records by obtaining oral and written consent from patients or their guardians. Results were obtained by statistical analysis including percent and Cochran Q nonparametric test.
Results:
female sex and age group from 10 to 19 years old predominated for 46,7 % in the study group and 42,2 % in the control group; the decrease of pain and healing started in most patients 72 hours after treatment with Tisuacryl for 91,1 % and 55,6 % respectively; being five days after application of the drug all of them asymptomatic and almost all the oral aphthae healed.
Conclusions:
aphthous lesions in the oral cavity evolved satisfactorily with the application of Tisuacryl being an effective treatment alternative in comparison with conventional therapy.
