The potential use of propolis as a cariostatic agent and its actions on mutans group streptococci
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2009 Propolis is a resinous substance made by bees. It possesses many biological activities, and many studies have reported its potential application in the control of dental caries. However, variability in the chemical composition of propolis is a potential problem in its quality control, especially since propolis has already been incorporated into ...
