A 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.
