[The treatment of periodontitis with prolonged-action propolis preparations (clinical x-ray research)].

A 4% alcohol solution of bee glue is suggested to be added to the filler for root-canal filling, besides the traditional treatment of the root canals with bee glue solution. Clinical and x-ray examinations have demonstrated a high efficacy of such technique in acute, exacerbated, and chronic forms of periodontitis. This filler is characterized by an anesthetizing effect; it resolves behind the root canal apex within 3-12 months, is preserved in the root canals, does not stain the tooth crown, promotes regeneration of the bone structures, and prolongs the effect of 0.4% water-alcohol bee glue emulsion.
