Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of a topically administered hygienic preparation containing a 3% ethanolic extract of Brazilian green propolis (EEP-B) on oral microflora spectrum changes in a group of patients who underwent common oral surgery procedures.
Two gel samples were compared: the tested gel containing an active ingredient, that is, a 3% EEP-B (gel GA), and a placebo as the negative control (gel GC).
The collection of microbiological material included 14 patients requiring surgical extraction of wisdom molars and short endosseous implant installation.
Clinical examinations were carried out as follow-up, that is, baseline and after 5-6 weeks’ time.
During the first and subsequent assessment, swabs were taken from the mucosal surface.
The number of microorganism species was found to have increased following the application of GC gel over the period of 5-6 weeks.
This mainly affected Gram-positive rods and bacilli as well as Gram-negative rods.
Application of the GA gel enriched with 3% EEP-B caused a profound reduction in the amount of Neisseria spp.
and Bifidobacterium spp.
strains.
Elimination of seven species of microorganisms was observed: Streptococcus acidominimus, Streptococcus oralis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Veillonella parvula, Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
