Article Synopsis
- Tooth extraction often leads to bone loss in the jaw, complicating future dental treatments and aesthetics.
- Purple leaves contain beneficial compounds that may improve bone health, while hydroxyapatite is a biocompatible substance that helps bone growth.
- Combining purple leaf extract with hydroxyapatite significantly boosts key bone-related markers and calcium deposition over time in stem cell studies.
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.

Methodology: This study represented a post-test only control group design consisting of four groups, namely; a control group (polyethylene glycol), an ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) group, a bovine bone graft (BBG) group, and a EEP-BBG group. 56 were split randomly into four groups.
Introduction: Crab shell (Portunus pelagicus) has the potential to be a source of hydroxyapatite biomaterials that used as bone grafts. Before clinical application, crab shell graft should be tested for its biocompatibility in vitro on human gingival fibroblast.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the biocompatibility of Portunus pelagicus hydroxyapatite graft on human gingival fibroblast cell culture.
