%X Se realiz車 un ensayo cl赤nico controlado fase III en 60 ni os con h芍bito de succi車n digital, entre 6 y 7 a os de edad, que recibieron atenci車n primaria en la Cl赤nica Estomatol車gica Provincial Docente de Santiago de Cuba desde septiembre 2005 a junio 2006, con el objetivo de demostrar la eficacia del tratamiento con terapia floral de Bach para la eliminaci車n del h芍bito de succi車n digital. La muestra se seleccion車 aleatoriamente y se conformaron 2 grupos de tratamientos: grupo estudio y grupo control, de 30 pacientes cada uno; el primero tratado con terapia floral de Bach y el segundo con tratamiento convencional. Se evalu車 a los 7, 15 y 21 d赤as, al 3er, y 6to, mes. Al finalizar el tratamiento se observ車 que el 66,6 % de ni os hab赤a eliminado el h芍bito en el grupo estudio y solo el 20 % en el grupo control. El tratamiento con terapia floral de Bach result車 ser eficaz en la eliminaci車n del h芍bito de succi車n digital, por lo que recomendamos extender la aplicaci車n de esta modalidad a otras instituciones estomatol車gicas de la provincia. A phase III controlled clinical assay was carried out in 60 children aged 6-7 years, who had the habit of finger sucking and were treated in the Provincial Teaching Dental Clinic of Santiago de Cuba province, from September 2005 to June 2006. The objective was to prove the efficacy of Bach∩s flower therapy for eliminating finger sucking. The randomly selected sample was divided into 2 groups under treatment, that is, the study group and the control group with 30 patients each; the first received Bach∩s therapy and the other the standard treatment. Both groups were evaluated after 7, 15 and 21 days and also at 3rd and 6th months. After completion of treatment, it was observed that 66.6% of children had dropped that habit in the study group whereas only 20% had succeded in the control group. The application of Bach∩s flower therapy proved to be effective to elimitate the habit of finger sucking, so we recommend to extend the use of this variant to other dental centers in the province.
