Abstract:Aim/Objective: The aim of this in-vitro study is to assess the antibacterial activity of a propolis-modified experimental dental composite resin in terms of reducing and preventing recurrent caries, usually caused by Streptococcus mutans. Materials and methods: Control group specimens were made using the 70/30 (filler/resin) method without the use of EPE. Group 1 specimens were made by mixing 12% EPE with 30% resin in experimental dental composite resin. The experimental dental composite was created by adding … Show more
