Propolis-Based Solution Application in Extraction Socket Healing
Summary
This pilot study evaluated whether a propolis-based topical solution improves soft-tissue healing after tooth extraction. Thirteen patients requiring extraction of two comparable teeth on opposite sides of the mouth were enrolled in a split-mouth design, in which one extraction site received the propolis solution while the other served as an internal control. The test site was treated with the propolis solution three times daily for seven days, while the control site received only saline rinses. Healing was tracked using 3D intraoral scans obtained before extraction and on days 7 and 14 afterward, allowing the percentage of socket closure to be measured objectively over time. Postoperative pain was also assessed using a standard visual pain scale on days 1, 3, and 7. The study aimed to determine whether this propolis-based formulation could serve as a natural, low-cost adjunct to standard post-extraction care to support faster tissue repair.
