摘要：AIM: Alveoloplasty is one among the common pre prosthetic surgical procedures administered in dental surgical practice setups. The aim of pre-prosthetic surgery is to enhance the standard of oral supporting structures, which may provide better retention and stability to dental prosthesis. It also prevents any longer hard or soft tissue loss. Alveoloplasty procedure is employed for recontouring of bony irregularity at time of extractions or after initial healing.Normal irrigants used intra operatively and postoperatively are normal saline. However, use of propolis as an antiinflammatory and antibacterial agent has sharply peaked in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The objective of this study is to work out the incidence, postoperative sequelae of pain, swelling, infection and to match the effectiveness of two agents (Propolis and Normal saline) as irrigants for alveoloplasty. MATERIALS AND METHORDS: 22 patients who require alveoloplasty were randomly divided into two groups. Various risk factors were recorded through proper history. Intra operative and postoperative irrigation of propolis was finished A patients whereas intra operative and postoperative irrigation using normal saline was finished B patients. Intensity of pain was recorded on a visible analogue scale of zero to 10. Pain score was recorded on the primary and seventh day. Facial swelling was calculated employing a two-point facial method and rise of infection was also calculated. Sutures were removed on the 7th POD and therefore the healing was assessed using Landry et al. index. The info was collected and analyzed using SPSS software (version 20). RESULT: Pain relief, mean facial swelling were less in patients with propolis as an irrigant over normal saline irrigation. Cases of infection that were reported were less by using propolis and healing was by far better in patients with propolis irrigation. CONCLUSION: It is often concluded that the utilization of propolis as an irrigant is simpler in managing post-operative pain, facial swelling, infection and healing taking into consideration patient comfort in comparison to the traditional normal saline.
