Bee Propolis has been used for its therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and immune-stimulating properties, for centuries as a functional food. This study reviewed the effectiveness of propolis as a functional food on oral-related diseases as a rich bioflavonoid produced by honey bees. A literature search was conducted to identify studies published that investigated the effects of propolis on oral health and its ability to treat related diseases. The search was performed in electronic databases using relevant keywords. Initially, 3429 studies were identified through database searching, and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles were eligible to be included. Reviewing the articles, propolis was recognized as a functional food and promising agent to balance oral microbiota and prevent oral diseases due to its effectiveness on related bacteria, its anti-inflammatory properties, and its activity against and allowed it to be an effective substance to prevent periodontal diseases. Based on our findings, Propolis is a desirable preventive option for various oral health conditions, including dental caries and periodontal diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to be consumed as a functional food in our daily diet, which can reduce the risk of oral disease and improve oral health.
几个世纪以来，蜂胶一直作为一种功能性食品，因其具有抗炎、抗菌、抗真菌和免疫刺激等治疗特性而被使用。本研究回顾了蜂胶作为一种功能性食品，对与口腔相关疾病的有效性，因为它是蜜蜂产生的一种富含生物类黄酮的物质。进行了文献检索，以确定已发表的研究蜂胶对口腔健康的影响及其治疗相关疾病的能力的研究。使用相关关键词在电子数据库中进行检索。最初，通过数据库检索确定了3429项研究，根据纳入和排除标准，有22篇文章符合纳入条件。回顾这些文章，蜂胶因其对相关细菌的有效性、抗炎特性以及对（此处原文缺失部分内容）的活性，被认为是一种功能性食品和有望平衡口腔微生物群并预防口腔疾病的物质，使其成为预防牙周疾病的有效物质。根据我们的研究结果，蜂胶是预防各种口腔健康问题（包括龋齿和牙周疾病）的理想选择。因此，建议在日常饮食中作为功能性食品食用，这可以降低口腔疾病的风险并改善口腔健康。
