Propolis, known as bee glue, is a wax-cum-resin substance, which is created out of a mix of buds from some trees with the substance secreted from the bee's glands. Its diverse chemical content is responsible for many valuable properties. Multiple applications of propolis have been studied and described in detail for centuries. However, currently available information on propolis is scarce. A literature search in the PubMed database was performed for English language articles, using the search terms propolis, oral health, dentistry, and oral cancer; no restrictions were used for publication dates. The aim of the article was to review propolis and its applications in dentistry including oral cancer.
蜂胶，又称蜂蜡，是一种蜡质兼树脂质的物质，由某些树木的芽与蜜蜂腺体分泌的物质混合而成。其多样的化学成分赋予了它许多宝贵特性。几个世纪以来，人们对蜂胶的多种应用进行了研究并详细描述。然而，目前关于蜂胶的可用信息却很匮乏。我们在PubMed数据库中使用“蜂胶”“口腔健康”“牙科”和“口腔癌”等检索词，对英文文章进行了文献检索；对发表日期未作限制。本文旨在综述蜂胶及其在包括口腔癌在内的牙科领域的应用。
