Abstract
Background and objective

Despite the high prevalence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), its aetiology is not yet completely clear and there is no completely remedial treatment available at present. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of 4 treatments (silver nitrate, propolis, rhubarb and walnut) for RAS.

Patients and method

A randomized clinical trial was conducted with 125 patients with minor aphthae, including 25 patients per group: cauterization with silver nitrate, propolis, rhubarb extract, walnut extract and placebo.

Results and conclusions

No patient reported adverse effects related to the treatment received. There were significant (p<0.001) differences in the time elapsed until symptom resolution. The fastest treatment was silver nitrate (1.16 days), followed by the 3 alternative treatments (1.60 days with propolis, 1.84 with rhubarb and 2.00 with walnut; with no differences between them), and finally the placebo (4.64 days). The mean healing time of the lesions was statistically higher (8.96 days) for the placebo than for the 4 treatments: silver nitrate (7.32 days), propolis (6.80), rhubarb (7.72) and walnut (8.00).

Resumen
Fundamento y objetivo

A pesar de la elevada prevalencia de la estomatitis aftosa recurrente (EAR), su etiología no está del todo aclarada y no existe un tratamiento totalmente curativo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la eficacia clínica y la seguridad de 4 tratamientos (nitrato de plata, própolis, ruibarbo y nogal) de la EAR.

Pacientes y método

Se realizó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado con 125 pacientes con aftas menores, con 25 pacientes por grupo: cauterización con nitrato de plata, própolis, extracto de ruibarbo, extracto de corteza de nogal y placebo.

Resultados y conclusiones

Ningún paciente refirió efectos adversos relacionados con el tratamiento. Hay diferencias significativas (p<0,001) globales en el tiempo hasta la desaparición de los síntomas. El más rápido fue el nitrato de plata (1,16 días), después los 3 tratamientos alternativos (1,60 días con própolis, 1,84 con ruibarbo y 2,00 con nogal, sin diferencias entre ellos), y por último el placebo (4,64 días). En cuanto al tiempo medio de curación de las lesiones, fue estadísticamente mayor (8,96 días) para el placebo que para los 4 tratamientos: nitrato de plata (7,32 días), própolis (6,80), ruibarbo (7,72) y nogal (8,00).
