Mechanical Properties of Poly(Alkenoate) Cement Modified with Propolis as an Antiseptic.

Background: We assessed the effect of propolis on the antibacterial, mechanical, and adhesive properties of a commercial poly(alkenoate) cement.

Methods: The cement was modified with various concentrations of propolis, and antibacterial assays were performed against . by both MTT assays and agar diffusion tests.
