Natural products used in dentistry - A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Oral Health Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Phytotherapy is the study of the use of extracts from natural origin as medicines or health-promoting agents. The use of herbs in dental practice is not limited to only material sciences. A single herb shows a variety of effects like anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal activity and many more. The natural phytochemicals could offer an effective alternative to antibiotics and represent a promising approach in prevention and therapeutic strategies for dental caries and other oral infections.
