Endodontic Applications of Propolis in Primary and Permanent Teeth: A Scoping Review of Clinical Studies

Abstract

[LANGUAGE= "English"] The use of propolis-based materials within endodontics to promote pulp wound healing or disinfect the root canal system has been a recent focus of scientists and clinicians. This is mainly because of the well-documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and wound healing properties of propolis. This scoping re-view critically appraises the literature on the clinical applications of propolis-based compounds during endodon-tic therapy of primary and permanent teeth. An electronic literature search was performed in Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science up to and including October 2023 to identify studies assessing the use of propolis during en-dodontic therapy of primary and permanent teeth. A combination of relevant Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and
