ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to treat class II furcation defects, which are areas where the roots of lower molars are affected by gum disease. The researchers are exploring the use of propolis, a natural substance made by bees, as a cost-effective treatment option that may help with healing bone and wounds in this area. The goal is to find a solution that is accessible and affordable for all patients, compared to traditional methods that can be expensive.

To participate in the trial, individuals should be between 65 and 74 years old, have lower molars with class II furcation defects, and be in good overall health. They should also have minimal plaque and bleeding in their mouths. However, smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with severe gum disease are not eligible to join. Participants can expect to receive treatment and be monitored for their progress, helping to advance research on this promising new therapy.
