Abstract: This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of propolis-based toothpastes used as intracanal medication in endodontic treatment. The propolis-based toothpastes were prepared using an extract established in previous studies (identified as A70D and D70D). Calcium hydroxide paste was used as a control. The diffusion-well method on double-layer agar was used in a culture medium of Tryptic Soy Agar. The plates were kept at room temperature for two hours to allow the diffusion of pastes in the culture medium, an… Show more

“…Propolis in its crude form, as an extract, is not ideal for the endodontic use, therefore shows characteristic resinous and sticky 10 . After successive biological and microbiological studies, Victorino, et al 18 (2009) reached a propolis paste formulation for endodontic use using the lowest concentration of crude extract of propolis which retains its biological activity. Other authors have shown that propolis can be useful as a root canal dressing due to its low toxicity and broad antibacterial spectrum 12 , 15 .…”

“… 15 16 Propolis has shown to exert strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. 17 18 19 In vivo experiments have found propolis to be a better antimicrobial and biocompatible product as compared with Ca(OH) 2 when used as an intracanal irrigant and a direct pulp capping material. 20 21 Moreover, it was found to have equal effectivensss as Ca(OH) 2 for postendodontic pain prevention when utilized as an intracanal medicament.…”

“…The association of CH and EEP against polymicrobial cultures collected from necrotic and fistulae root canals in the primary molars was effective (33). Via the diffusion agar method, pharmaceutical formulations with propolis showed better results than the control group with calcium hydroxide (34).…”
