Summary

Systemic enzyme therapy is today already a widely accepted therapeutic method for many
pathological conditions. Its purpose consists in the administration of high doses of
proteolytic enzymes of both animal and vegetable origin, which take effect on physiologic
and mainly pathophysiologic actions in organism. Systemic enzyme therapy is applied for
its therapeutic and preventive effects. Besides the fibrinolytic and also thrombolytic
effects, further antiedematous, antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, analgetic,
anti-infection and propably antitumorous effects were described in the literature. In the
Czech market there are the preparations WOBENZYM®, PHLOGENZYMâ
, WOBE-MUGOSâ and MULSALâ N at
disposal for systemic enzyme therapy.

The presented preliminary study verified that mentioned preparations can be given even to
patients after stomatosurgical intervention so as preventively, as subsequently to the
shortening the time of edema and pain in the extraction place and also the shortening of
healing.}
