Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the In Vitro level of antimicrobial effectiveness of Costa Rican propolis high in phenolic compounds on the species Streptococcus Mutans and Streptococcus Sanguinis.

It was measured the bacteriostatic and / or bactericidal action of propolis in 50%, 70% and 80% concentration, comparing their effect against chlorhexidine 0.12%.

The analysis showed that propolis proved a bactericidal effect on the species Streptococcus Sanguinis regardless of their concentration; on the other hand on the propolis concentrations of 50% and 70% on the bacterium Streptococcus mutans resulted in bacteriostatic action.

It is concluded that the three extracts of propolis generated an antimicrobial effect on the species S. mutans and S. Sanguinis. Antibacterial effects from extracts of propolis were similar to chlorhexidine 0.12%, this justifies that can be used as a tool for prevention and / or adjunctive treatment of periodontal disease and reduction of tooth decay risk.
