Pericoronaritis is an oral pathology frequently found in stomatologic urgency consultations. It is considered an acute infectious process characterized by inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the retained tooth, causing unwanted effects in the patient. The indicated treatment is applying caustic substances that may damage dental tissues, so we decided using ozonotherapy to develop a clinical assay Phase III, randomized, controlled and open, allowing us to study the efficacy of OLEOZÓN® in treating Pericoronaritis at the Teaching Stomatologic Clinic “Cesar Escalante”, municipality of Matanzas, from january 2003 to january 2008. The universe of study were the patients assisting to the urgency consultation with Pericoronaritis in that period of time, and the sample were 90 patients, divided in two groups, an Experimental one where OLEOZÓN® was applied, and a Control one where the conventional treatment was used. Both groups were characterized from the sociodemographic and clinic points of view, stating the efficacy of OLEOZÓN®, high in treated patients.Downloads
