The results of a study to investigate the effectiveness of a propolis‐containing mouthrinse in the inhibition of de novo plaque formation are presented. Subjects used a propolis‐containing rinse, a negative control and a positive control in a double‐blind, parallel, de novo plaque formation study design. The chlorhexidine mouthrinse was significantly better than the others in plaque inhibition. The propolis‐containing rinse was marginally better than the negative control, but this difference was not significant.
