“…Propolis extracts have been tested for many different types of biological and pharmacological activities (Burdock, 1998;Farooqui & Farooqui, 2010;Sforcin & Bankova, 2011), including in clinical trials (Henshaw et al, 2014;Hoheisel, 2001;Paulino, Coutinho, Coutinho, & Scremin, 2014;Soroy, Bagus, Yongkie, & Djoko, 2014;Vaz Coelho et al, 2007). Most significant is the number of clinical trials in dentistry (Anauate-Netto et al, 2014;Pereira et al, 2011;Prabhakar, Karuna, Yavagal, & Deepak, 2015;Purra, Mushtaq, Acharya, & Saraswati, 2014;Torwane et al, 2013). It is impossible to describe standard methods for these numerous and diverse tests here.…”

Propolis is one of the most fascinating honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) products. It is a plant derived product that bees\ud produce from resins that they collect from different plant organs and with which they mix beeswax. Propolis is a building\ud material and a protective agent in the bee hive. It also plays an important role in honey bee social immunity, and is\ud widely used by humans as an ingredient of nutraceuticals, over-the-counter preparations and cosmetics. Its chemical\ud composition varies by geographic location, climatic zone and local flora. The understanding of the chemical diversity of\ud propolis is very important in propolis research. In this manuscript, we give an overview of the available methods for\ud studying propolis in different aspects: propolis in the bee colony; chemical composition and plant sources of propolis;\ud biological activity of propolis with respect to bees and humans; and approaches for standardization and quality control\ud for the purposes of industrial application

“…This review analyzed the published articles on the effectiveness of propolis in the treatment of dentine hypersensitivity. Out of 9 studies, four studies were in vivo involving 169 participants (Mahmoud et al [10], Madhavan et al [13], Torwane et al [14], Purra et al [16]) and 5 studies were in vitro involving 214 extracted teeth involving dentine disks (Almas et al [11], Sales et al [12], Hongal et al [15], Chen et al [17], Kripal et al [18]). One study by Torwane et al [14] showed Ricaldent (™) to be better than Propolis while remaining 8 studies proved propolis to be a better option in reducing dentine hypersensitivity.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of propolis (a natural herb) against dentine hypersensitivity and to compare their effect with the controls.Methodology: Two databases were selected and searched for the relevant articles published up to 2019. Clinical trials involving propolis with other desensitizing agents and comparing it with controls were included involving patients that possess dentine hypersensitivity along with the extracted teeth. Nine clinical trials from 1999 to 2019 met the criteria involving 169 patients who had sensitivity and 214 extracted teeth were included in this scoping review.Results: Propolis was found to have a better desensitizing results than the controls, except Recaldent ™ which showed better results than Porpolis. Conclusion: Our results support the assertion that propolis is a good option which occludes the dentinal tubules and can relieve the symptoms of dentine hypersensitivity. However more clinical trials and high quality studies are needed to confirm its results in a better way.

“…In office treatment modalities provide instantaneous relief to the patient, but the effects are often temporary. Thus, none of the treatment modalities has been able to provide a permanent relief from dentin hypersensitivity (18) . Taking these facts into consideration, there is a need to develop treatment approaches which permit the relief of the symptoms of dentin hypersensitivity.…”

Objectives:-This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and laboratory effect of three different treatment modalities in management of dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and methods: one hundred-twenty samples were used in the study procedures, for dentin permeability test and Scanning Electron Microscopic examination (SEM). The samples were randomly divided into two groups Group A 1 , totally removed smear layer Group A 2 , partially removed smear layer. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups according to the treatment agent applied: ammonium hexafluorosilicate (SiF) gel, propolis extract, Curodont D'senz and the control group that were left untreated. One hundred and five (105) hypersensitive teeth were enrolled for this study. The subjective assessment of dentin hypersensitivity was done before application of the agent (baseline) then immediate, 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months respectively. Patients were asked to rate their perception to tactile, air and cold stimuli by using Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: Permeability results revealed that there were high statistical significant difference between the study groups with lowest statistically significant mean depth of dye penetration values were found with propolis treated samples. The results of the clinical study revealed that there was high significant difference between pain scores before and after treatment for all tested groups. Conclusion: Propolis extract, Curodont D'senz and SiF gel were effective in reducing dentin permeability, occluding dentinal tubules and alleviating the hypersensitivity symptoms, with propolis extract paste being the most effective within 1 to 2 weeks and sustained up to 3 months.
