The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of OLEOZON
(ozonized sunflower oil) in the treatment of Subprosthesis
Stomatitis. 122 patient suffering from this disease were treated
on "Briones Montoto" Dental Clinic (Pinar del Rio province)
between January to April of 1996. Patients were divided in 3
groups: group 1, 50 patients treated with OLEOZON, without their
prosthetics device; group 2, 45 patients without their prosthesis
and without OLEOZON treatment and group 3, 27 patients who
maintained their prosthesis and received OLEOZON, independently
of the stomatitis degree affection. The influence of different
factors: age, sex and stomatitis degree affection was
statistically analyzed, through contingency tables. The healing
was total (100 %) in the first group and the time required was
reduced from 43.1 (group 2) to 8.4 days, not detecting any adverse
reactions. 89 % and 4 % of healing was obtained in group 2 and 3,
respectively. It is concluded that the withdrawal of the
prosthesis is a very important aspect to consider and that with
OLEOZON applications the healing time is reduced significantly.
