Usage of Oleozón® in the treatment of pericoronaritis

Primary care is directed to the main health problems of the community, and among them stomatologic emergencies where pericoronaritis is attended, being the indicated treatment the application of caustic substances (trichloroacetic acid), that may damage dental tissues. Considering the characteristics of pericoronaritis, we used ozone therapy, carrying out a Phase III randomized, controlled and open clinical trial, that allowed studying the microbiologic evolution after applying Oleozón® in the treatment of pericoronaritis, at the Teaching Stomatologic Clinic Cesar Escalante, municipality of Matanzas, from January 2003 to January 2008. The universe of study was the patients with pericoronaritis, and the sample covered 90 patients. Two groups were formed, one experimental, treated with Oleozon, and the other control, where we used the conventional treatment. The OLEOZÓN® efficacy was high in the treated patients.
