Magro-Filho, O.de Carvalho, A. C.2014-05-272014-05-271994-06-01The Journal of Nihon University School of Dentistry, v. 36, n. 2, p. 102-111, 1994.0029-0432http://hdl.handle.net/11449/64483A study was conducted to analyze the effects of propolis mouth rinse on the repair of surgical wounds after sulcoplasty by the modified Kazanjian technique. Twenty-seven patients who underwent sulcoplasty were divided into three groups: C1--patients who did not use the mouth rinse C2--patients who used a mouth rinse containing 5% aqueous alcohol T--patients who used a mouth rinse containing 5% propolis in aqueous alcohol solution. The patients returned 7, 14, 30, and 45 days after surgery for cytological and clinical evaluation. It was concluded that: 1) the mouth rinse containing propolis in aqueous alcohol solution aids repair of intra-buccal surgical wounds and exerts a small pain-killing and anti-inflammatory effect; 2) the vehicle employed has a minor irritant effect on intra-buccal surgical wounds; 3) exfoliative cytology allows epithelization of intrabuccal surgical wounds.102-111engantiinflammatory agentpropolisclinical trialcontrolled clinical trialcontrolled studydrug effecthumanmethodologymouth hygieneoral surgeryosteolysispostoperative complicationwound healingAlveolar Bone LossAnti-Inflammatory AgentsHumansMouthwashesPostoperative ComplicationsPropolisVestibuloplastyWound HealingArtigo10.2334/josnusd1959.36.102Acesso aberto2-s2.0-00284514122-s2.0-0028451412.pdf55354186707451250000-0002-9821-2479
