To evaluate the effect of manuka honey on the healing of mandibular third molar extraction sockets. This was a prospective randomized study at a tertiary health institution in Lagos, Nigeria. All extractions were transalveolar, using the distobuccal bone guttering technique. Participants were randomized into two study groups. Group A underwent intrasocket application of manuka honey, after which sockets were completely closed using the mucosal flap, while participants in group B underwent mucosal flap closure of the socket without application of manuka honey. The primary outcome was healing of the extraction socket at 7 days postoperatively. The secondary outcomes measured were postoperative sequelae, namely pain, swelling, and trismus on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7, and socket healing complications - specifically inflamed socket, infected socket, and alveolar osteitis. In total, 112 participants completed the study, with 56 participants per group. There were no significant differences in demographic variables between both groups. On the 7th day postoperatively, 26.8% of participants in group B had an unhealed extraction site, compared with 10.3% of participants in group A (p = 0.029). A significant difference was observed between pre- and postoperative pain scores in both study groups (p = 0.001). A comparison of postoperative mean facial swelling between the two groups showed no statistically significant differences on all the review days (p = 0.66). The difference in postoperative socket healing complication rate between both groups was statistically significant (χ = 4.747, p = 0.029). Within the limitations of the study it seems that the application of manuka honey appears to aid earlier healing of the third molar extraction socket, with a significantly lower frequency of complications. Therefore, the application of manuka honey is recommended whenever appropriate.

The aim of the present study was to compare the antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral activities of Podkarpackie coniferous honeydew honey and Manuka honey. The quality of tested honey samples (honeydew-12 and Manuka-4) regarding honey standard was evaluated as well as additional indicators (methylglyoxal, total phenolics and HPTLC phenolic profile, antioxidant potential, glucose oxidase activity, and hydrogen peroxide) were compared. Antibacterial potential was analyzed against Gram-positive (S.

The aim of present study was to observe the effect of topical application of manuka honey in healing in the healing of postoperative mastoid cavity. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media with cholesteatoma underwent canal wall down mastoidectomy, Manuka honey-soaked roller gauze pack was placed on Day 10 and was removed on day 17 and manuka honey was applied on day 17. Cavity was assessed on day 47 and day 90 on follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- Trauma is a significant factor in skin surgical issues for cats, leading to higher infection risks, and the study investigates how platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) can aid in wound healing.
- Researchers created trauma models in 18 cats, dividing them into three groups: a control group, a PRF group, and a Manuka honey group for positive comparison.
- Results indicated that PRF effectively enhances wound healing without affecting the cat's vital signs, promoting growth factor production, reducing inflammation, and increasing collagen fiber formation, similar to the effects of Manuka honey.

Biofilms are major virulence factors formed by pathogenic bacteria to invade their host and maintain their colony. While biofilms usually develop on diverse solid surfaces, floating biofilms, also called pellicles, are formed at the air-liquid interface. To address the problem of biofilm formation by bacterial pathogens, honey has been extensively studied.
