Does propolis help to maintain oral health?

Propolis has been shown to be effective in treating cavities, supragingival plaque, gingivitis, and periodontitis. Propolis is also effective as a cavity, intracanal, root canal, and dental pulp medicament. Propolis is useful in promoting wound healing and preventing bone resorption.​

Propolis, Aloe and Xylitol Research:

Concerning the Streptococcus mutans, surveying the samples with digital caliper showed that:

• In all concentrations, propolis and aloe vera gel had an inhibitory effect on growth of Streptococcus mutans.

• Xylitol gel only in concentration 1 had an inhibitory effect on growth of Streptococcus mutans.

Also, studying the samples with concentration 1 after 72 hours showed the following:

• The highest inhibition zone was associated to the gel containing propolis and aloe vera
