| INTRODUCTION: The greatest preventive challenge in dentistry is the control of dental biofilm and consequently avoiding dental caries and gingival diseases. As an adjunct to the mechanical oral hygiene measures, antibacterial agents seem to offer great benefits in the control of plaque formation and gingivitis, especially in high risk patients with orthodontic appliances. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of propolis mouthwash in children with fixed space maintainers regarding quantity of dental plaque and its microbial population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty children with space maintainers with an age range of 6 to 8 years were randomly assigned into 2 groups (test and control). The test group received the propolis mouthwash, and the controls received a placebo. All the patients were examined clinically to assess plaque accumulation using the plaque control record before and after the treatment. Plaque sampling and microbiological evaluation was used to estimate the numbers of colony forming units. RESULTS: Data showed that the controls experienced no significant reduction in microbial plaque count from baseline to the end of 3 weeks (P≤0.11) whereas in the propolis mouthwash users there was a significant difference after 3 weeks (P≤0.0001). Among groups comparison of total microbial plaque counts before intervention, showed a significant difference (P≤0.02), and after the intervention, there was no significant difference between groups (P≤0.72). No significant difference was found in plaque index scores in the controls from baseline to the end of 3 weeks (P≤0.15), whereas in the propolis group there was a highly significant difference (P≤0.0001). Comparisons of mean plaque values between test and control groups before intervention showed significant difference (P≤0.04). After intervention the difference increased dramatically to a highly significant value (P≤0.008). CONCLUSIONS: A mouthwash containing propolis significantly reduced bacterial count and plaque accumulation when used for 3 weeks. | ||||
