Bioactive glasses were studied as potential drug delivery candidates for the incorporation and release of natural products. In light of these studies, the antimicrobial activity of a new formulation containing propolis was evaluated. Susceptibility of oral pathogens microorganisms were evaluated using the CLSI standard MIC, MBC and agar diffusion method with Brazilian green (BGP) and red (BRP) propolis extracts isolated and associated with bioglass (BGGP and BGRP). Isolated Bioglass (BG), Tetracycline (TT) and Ethanol (ET) were the controls. Results data were expressed as M ± SD. Significant differences between microorganisms treated groups antimicrobial assays were analyzed by Student’s-test (significance at) using the Origin 6.0 program. All tested bacteria were susceptible to bioglassincorporated green and red propolis.. View More»
