Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem world-wide. Oral health is integral to general well-being and relates to the quality-of-life that extends beyond the functions of the craniofacial complex. The standard Western medicine has had only limited success in the prevention of periodontal disease and in the treatment of a variety of oral diseases. Hence, the search for alternative products continues and natural phytochemicals isolated from plants used in traditional medicine are considered to be good alternatives to synthetic chemicals. The botanicals in the Ayurvedic material medica have been proven to be safe and effective, through several hundred to several thousand years of use. The exploration of botanicals used in traditional medicine may lead to the development of novel preventive or therapeutic strategies for oral health. The present scientific evidence based review is focused on the possible role of Ayurveda in the management of various orofacial disorders.
口腔疾病仍然是全球范围内的一个主要健康问题。口腔健康是整体健康不可或缺的一部分,并且与超越颅面复合体功能的生活质量相关。标准的西医在预防牙周病和治疗多种口腔疾病方面仅取得了有限的成功。因此,对替代产品的探索仍在继续,从传统医学中使用的植物中分离出的天然植物化学物质被认为是合成化学物质的良好替代品。经过数百年至数千年的使用,阿育吠陀药物中的植物药已被证明是安全有效的。对传统医学中使用的植物药的探索可能会导致开发出用于口腔健康的新型预防或治疗策略。本基于科学证据的综述聚焦于阿育吠陀在管理各种口腔颌面部疾病中可能发挥的作用。
