Introduction: gingivitis is the most frequent periodontal disease affecting both adolescents and adult patients.
Objective: to determine the efficacy of calendula in the treatment of chronic gingivitis. Methods: longitudinal study of therapeutic intervention in patients from 11 to 15 years old of the "Antonio Maceo" Mixed Center, of the "Hermanos Saíz" Teaching Stomatological Clinic, San Juan y Martínez municipality, in the period January 2020 - October 2021. 150 patients diagnosed with chronic fibroedematous gingivitis. By means of intentional sampling by expert criteria, the sample consisted of 40 patients who were divided into two groups (study and control) of 20 members each, treated with calendula mouthwashes and 0,2 % Chlorhexidine mouthwashes, respectively. The patients were evaluated 7,14 and 21 days after starting treatment. Percentage was used as a summary measure.
Results: at seven days of treatment, all patients in the study group were cured while 65 % of the controls remained with mild gingivitis. At 14 and 21 days after starting treatment, all patients in both groups improved.
Conclusions: The efficacy of 20 % diluted calendula tincture, used as mouthwash, was proved, since after seven days of treatment the patients were cured, without adverse reactions or recurrence of the disease, all attributable to the benefits provided by this product, including its broad spectrum anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions.
