abstract = {This study investigated the antimicrobial effects of a mouthwash containing propolis and
the effect of a propolis paste formulation on dental healing after teeth extraction in patients with
periodontal disease. In the mouthwash experience, the population comprised 40 patients, which
were divided as follows: the control mouthwash, 0.2% chlorhexidine (v/v) mouthwash, 2% (w/v)
propolis mouthwash, and propolis + chlorhexidine mouthwash. The study of the propolis paste
comprised a population of 60 patients with periodontal disease, and a total of 120 symmetric tooth
extractions were performed. Propolis showed antimicrobial activity by itself, and especially with the
chlorhexidine association. Three days after surgery in the teeth treated with control paste, only 13.4%
had completely healed; however, with propolis paste, in 90% of the periodontal sockets, healing
was complete. In addition, a reduction in Streptococci mutans and Lactobacilli cfu was observed
with propolis, and especially with the association of chlorhexidine + propolis. Propolis mouthwash
reduced bacterial proliferation, especially in association with chlorhexidine. Propolis paste is a viable
alternative for socket healing after dental extraction. The knowledge gained from these findings will
provide a foundation for similar propolis therapies in order to improve the healing process after
dental surgery.},
