Socket preservation using a combination of propolis extract and bovine bone graft towards the expression of receptor activator of nuclear κB ligand and osteoprogerin

Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2023 Oct 31;65(5):737-743. doi: 10.3897/folmed.65.e95802.

Abstract

This study was undertaken to comprehend the effect of a combination of bovine bone graft (BBG) and propolis extract on the receptor activator of nuclear κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) expressions in post-extraction tooth sockets.

Keywords: bone graft medicine OPG propolis RANKL.
