Effectiveness of Vimang® fluid extract in subprosthetic stomatitis in patients older than 50 years of age

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the results of the quasi-experimental study of therapeutic intervention carried out in the stomatological service of the Policlínico Guillermo Tejas Silva between May 2019 and May 2020, with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of Vimang in the treatment of subprosthetic stomatitis in patients over 50 years of age. For this purpose, 46 patients were selected with the simple randomized intentional non-probabilistic method, divided into two groups, a control group where Nystatin in suspension was applied and a study group that was treated with Vimang fluid extract. Variables such as sex, age, time of evolution and effectiveness of the treatment were characterized. A bibliographic review of all the updated literature related to the subject, both national and international, was carried out. Before starting the study, informed consent was requested and an individual clinical history was taken of the patients who attended the stomatological clinic. The most affected age group was 61 to 70 years old (46%) and the female sex (59%). The effectiveness of treatment with Vimang was demonstrated in the study group, which showed a favorable evolution from the third day of application.
