The health industry has always used natural products as an alternative, to the conventional allopathic
formulations available for the treatment of various afflictions. Propolis, a natural antibiotic is a resinous
yellow brown to dark brown substance that honey bees (Apis mellifera) collect from tree buds, sap
flows, shrubs or other botanical sources to seal unwanted open spaces in the hive, protecting it from
outside contaminants. The main chemical classes present in propolis are flavonoids, phenolics and
other various aromatic compounds. Flavonoids are well known plant compounds that have
antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory proprieties. Propolis has been used
in dentistry for various purposes and has a promising role in future medicine as well as in dentistry.
This paper is an attempt to review various applications of this compound in dentistry.
