Abstract

Introduction: recurrent aphthous stomatitis is one of the most frequent and painful alterations of the oral complex.

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of oleozon in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

Method: a randomized controlled phase IV clinical trial was carried out on 120 patients aged 15 to 35 years, with a clinical diagnosis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis who attended the emergency department of the Mayarí Stomatological Clinic, Holguín province, between April 2017 and February 2018. Oleozon was applied to the study group, and the conventional drug treatment was applied to the control group. The bioethical principles defined for this type of study were fulfilled.

Results: stomatitis predominated in the study group at the ages of 25 to 35 years (63,33 %) and in the female sex (75,00 %). It was observed that the majority of patients treated with ozonized oil (93,33 %) healed on the seventh day. However, in the control group only 56,67 % healed.

Conclusions: oleozon is effective in the aphthae healing, with a shorter therapeutic response time than conventional treatment
