This study was carried out to investigate the influence of a propolis and tee tree oil-containing hygienic agent on selected oral health parameters, oral microflora, and the condition of periodontal health. Thirty-seven patients who underwent oral rehabilitation with a removable acrylic denture were selected and randomly assigned into two groups: study group (A) which received a newly formulated propolis and tee tree oil-containing toothpaste or a control group (C) without an active ingredient. API, S-OHI, and mSBI were assessed in three subsequent stages. During each examination swabs were employed for microbiological inoculation: in the study group after 4 weeks use of the active toothpaste showed a decrease in the number of isolated microorganisms. In the control group, after 4 weeks use of the toothpaste without active ingredients resulted in increase in the number of the isolated microorganisms. Improvements in hygiene and the condition of periodontium were observed in patients using active toothpastes. In the study group the oral flora diversity was reduced by the decrease in the number of cultured microorganism species, while in the control group an increase in the number of cultured microorganisms and their species was observed.
本研究旨在探讨一种含蜂胶和茶树油的卫生剂对选定的口腔健康参数、口腔微生物群以及牙周健康状况的影响。选取37例接受可摘丙烯酸义齿口腔修复的患者，并随机分为两组：研究组（A）使用新配制的含蜂胶和茶树油的牙膏，对照组（C）使用不含活性成分的牙膏。在随后的三个阶段评估菌斑指数（API）、简化口腔卫生指数（S-OHI）和改良牙龈指数（mSBI）。在每次检查期间，使用拭子进行微生物接种：在研究组中，使用活性牙膏4周后，分离出的微生物数量减少。在对照组中，使用不含活性成分的牙膏4周后，分离出的微生物数量增加。使用活性牙膏的患者口腔卫生和牙周状况得到改善。在研究组中，培养的微生物种类数量减少，口腔菌群多样性降低，而在对照组中，观察到培养的微生物及其种类数量增加。
