Objectives:  Surgical endodontics (hemisection) commonly involves the alveolar bone socket and the periradicular tissue. In today's era, optimizing the bone healing process is updated by using bone graft induction. This study explores the mechanisms of bone healing of the alveolar bone socket post-dental extraction of Wistar rats after administration of a bovine tooth graft (hydroxyapatite bovine tooth graft [-BTG]).

Background: Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)] is a material used during pulp capping treatment, despite being readily soluble in both water and acid. In contrast, propolis constitutes a nontoxic resin which is not easily dissolved in water. Therefore, a combination of Ca(OH)and propolis is assumed to be capable of increasing the mechanical properties of Ca(OH)and to diffuse into the dentinal tubules.

Aim: This research aimed to investigate the differences in the sealing capability of propolis extracts and Ca(OH) on dentin surfaces.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen mandible incisors of Wistar rats were prepared at a depth of 0.5 mm after which they were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6) including control (C), pulp-capped with Ca(OH) group (P1), and indirect pulp-capped with propolis extract group (P2).

Introduction: The objective of this animal study was to promote East Java propolis as a potential natural intracanal medicament for periapical chronic apical periodontitis bone resorption through evaluating the expression of osteoprotegrin (OPG) and osteoclast level.

Methods And Materials: Propolis extract was produced using a maceration procedure. Thirty Wistar rats were divided into three groups.
