Periodontitis is an advanced disease of
untreated gingivitis which results in the destruction of the
periodontal tissue which includes the gingiva, alveolar
bone and cementum which is characterized by pocket
formation. Periodontitis can be treated by providing
therapy with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Honeycomb (Trigona Sp) contains flavonoids, phenolic
acids and their esters, which act as anti-inflammatory
agents. The purpose of this study was to prove that
honeycomb gel (Trigona Sp) as an alternative material
has an effect on changes in clinical conditions in
periodontitis in Wistar rats.
