The Technology Incubator Unit at the College of Dentistry at Kerbala University organized a workshop on an applied research titled “The Bioactivity of Propolis and Carvacrol and Their Synergistic Effects Against Bacteria Causing Oral Diseases and Their Potential Use as an Applied and Investment Study” as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week activities. The workshop was presented by Assistant Lecturer Ali Mahmoud Rishan in the Continuing Education Hall, attended by a group of staff and faculty members.
The applied research aims to test the activity of propolis, found in the waxy coating of honey cells, which is effective against bacteria causing oral diseases and tooth decay, in conjunction with Carvacrol, and to compare their effects with that of fluoride against these harmful bacteria.
The workshop included an introduction to the negative impact of fluoride used in toothpaste, as well as an overview of propolis, along with the method for extracting these substances and incorporating them into toothpaste, and the development of an investment project focused on oral and dental health.
