Application of Combination Propolis Extract and Calcium Hydroxide as a Direct Pulp Capping Agent on MMP-1 Expression and Collagen Type 1 Density in Rat’s Pulp Tissue
Abstract:Introduction: Ca (OH)2 has long been regarded as the “gold standard” of direct pulp-capping materials, Ca(OH)2 is very saoluable in oral fluid, that make tunnel defect and unable to withstand bacterial recolonization. Propolis is a material created from resin gathered by bees (Apis mellifera) from a range of plants and combined with saliva and enzymes to form a nest.
