  • Title: Application of propolis to dental sockets and skin wounds.
    Author: Magro Filho O, de Carvalho AC.
    Journal: J Nihon Univ Sch Dent; 1990 Mar; 32(1):4-13. PubMed ID: 2345377.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to examine histologically the effects of propolis topical application to dental sockets and skin wounds. After topical application of either a 10% hydro-alcoholic solution of propolis or 10% hydro-alcoholic solution alone, cutaneous wound healing and the socket wound after tooth extraction were examined. The rats were sacrificed at 3, 6, 9, 15 and 21 days after the operation. The specimens were subjected to routine laboratory studies after staining with hematoxylin and eosin. It was concluded that topical application of propolis hydro-alcoholic solution accelerated epithelial repair after tooth extraction but had no effect on socket wound healing.
