Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the eff ectiveness of propolis gel in reducing the occurrence
of dry sockets after mandibular molars extraction.
Materials and Methods: This Quasi-experimental study was conducted in Lahore General Hospital. A total of 96 patients requiring a mandibular molar extraction were recruited. The patients
were randomly allocated to one of the two trial arms: experimental propolis group and control
group. After the extraction, 1.5% propolis gel was placed in the socket of the experimental group,
while no intervention was done in the control group. The presence of exposed bone and disintegrated blood clot was assessed at day 5.
Results: A greater number of sockets were found to have disintegrated blood clots in the control
group (n = 17, 35.4%) as compared to the propolis group (n=4, 8.3%) group (p = 0.001). The
number of sockets with exposed bone were also greater for the control group (n = 17, 35.4%), as
compared to the propolis group (n = 4, 8.4%), at day 5 (p = 0.001).
