ABSTRACT

Introduction: there is a high percentage of patients suffering from denture stomatitis, which is a serious health problem, so it is necessary to seek options for their treatment.
Objective: to determine the effectiveness of oleozón in the treatment of grade I and II denture stomatitis.
Methodological design: a quasi-experimental study of the before and after type without control group was performed on 55 patients with dental prostheses who attended the stomatology service of Bayamo-Oeste Polyclinic, Granma, from April to June 2017, with a diagnosis of grade I or II denture stomatitis. The primary information was obtained through: individual clinical histories, observation and clinical exploration. A data collection form was prepared, the results were presented in statistical tables and the percentage was used as a summary measure.
Results: the 63.6 % of patients were affected by grade II denture stomatitis, the age group of 60-69 years was the most affected with 50.9 %. The female sex represented 76.4 %. The 54.5 % of the cured patients resolved with 5-10 applications; 40.0 % of patients cured in the time of 11-14 days. Only 2 patients reported burning and heat on one occasion.
Conclusions: denture stomatitis affects more to the feminine sex and to the group of age of 60-69 years, the one of grade II was more frequent. The majority of patients resolved with 5 to 10 applications in a period of 11 to 14 days. Ozone therapy produces very few adverse effects.
