Abstract
Introduction: alveolitis is a condition where pain symptoms are the main reason why patients attend consultations. It was decided to evaluate the effectiveness of propolis 5% to achieve a faster recovery and full restoration of damaged tissues, with less discomfort to the patient.
Method: a controlled clinical trial was carried out with 68 patients of both sexes and over 15 years at "Belkys Sotomayor Álvarez " Universitary Polyclinic in Ciego de Ávila, from January 2010 to January 2011, divided into two groups (study and control), in order to determine the efficacy of propolis 5% in the alveolitis treatment, in terms of: pain evolution according to the number of visits, type, alveolitis location and present adverse reactions. The study group was treated with propolis and the control group with alvogil. The recovery and evolution visits were daily.
Results: the alveolitis efficacy treatment with propolis 5% was observed in 85,3% of studied patients.
Conclusions: the propolis proved to be an innocuous and effective therapy of choice in alveolitis, regardless of pain intensity, type and location. Pain intensity decreases with increasing time and applications of propolis.
