Abstract
Description
Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases in humans and is responsible for most of the tooth loss in adults. World health Organisation report of 2005 described that the global problem persisted with the worldwide oral diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, oral mucosal lesions and oro-pharyngeal cancer. According to a local study the prevalence of periodontitis is found to be more in males of older age group and more in rural areas owing to the lack of awareness of importance of oral hygiene.
Apart from various conventional treatment option for periodontitis a number of herbal medicinal intervention have been used for its treatment. Plant extracts and herbs that have been used previously used for periodontal therapy include Salvadora persica, Arnica Montana and Hamamelis virginiana which have been shown to exhibit antibacterial activity against periodonto-pathic bacteria. Phytomedicines (Medicines derived from herbal plants) like indian gum arabic, aloe vera, nim, carvacrol, garlic, wild coffee and propolis resin have been used in dentistry as anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, analgesic and hypnotic agents. Propolis resin, guava and triphala have been also been used for the treatment of periodontitis
