Propolis, a natural antibiotic, is a resinous substance that honey bees (Apis mellifera) produce. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics and other various aromatic compounds.
To evaluate the antibacterial action of propolis on the concentration of Streptococcus mutans colonizing the oral cavity of children.
Thirty children performed the rinses, with no other changes in their oral hygiene and dietary habits. Saliva was collected at two time points: Before using the product, 1 hour after the rinse.
Paired t-test was used for analysis of the results. A reduction in the concentration of Streptococcus mutans was observed in samples collected after use of the extract. There was a reduction in Streptococcus mutans count when compared to samples obtained in baseline. Significant reductions were seen at the end of 1 hour. The result was statistically significant. There were no side effects in soft and hard tissues of mouth. Conclusion and clinical implication: The propolis possesses in vivo antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans present in the oral cavity and might be used as a measure to prevent dental caries.

蜂胶是一种天然抗生素,是蜜蜂(西方蜜蜂)产生的树脂状物质。蜂胶中的主要化学类别是黄酮类化合物、酚类化合物和其他各种芳香族化合物。
评估蜂胶对定植于儿童口腔中的变形链球菌浓度的抗菌作用。
30名儿童进行漱口,其口腔卫生和饮食习惯无其他变化。在两个时间点收集唾液:使用产品前、漱口后1小时。
采用配对t检验分析结果。在使用提取物后收集的样本中观察到变形链球菌浓度降低。与基线时获得的样本相比,变形链球菌计数减少。在1小时结束时观察到显著减少。结果具有统计学意义。口腔软硬组织未出现副作用。结论及临床意义:蜂胶对口腔中存在的变形链球菌具有体内抗菌活性,可作为预防龋齿的一种措施。如何引用本文:Hegde KS, Bhat SS, Rao A, Sain S. 蜂胶对变形链球菌计数的影响:一项体内研究。《国际临床儿科牙科学杂志》2013年;6(1):22 - 25。
