Herbal therapies are utilized to treat a broad diversity of diseases all over the globe. Although no clinical studies have been conducted to demonstrate the antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiplaque characteristics of these plants, this does not imply that they are ineffectual as periodontal treatments or anti-cariogenic drugs. However, there is a scarcity of research confirming their efficacy and worth.
Herbs are utilized in dentistry as antimicrobial, antineoplastic, antiseptic, antioxidant, and analgesics agents as well as for the elimination of bad breath. In addition, the application of herbal agents in tissue engineering improved the regeneration of oral and dental tissues. This study reviews the application of medicinal herbs for the treatment of dental and oral diseases in different aspects.
This article focuses on current developments in the use of medicinal herbs and phytochemicals in oral and dental health. An extensive literature review was conducted via an Internet database, mostly PubMed. The articles included full-text publications written in English without any restrictions on a date.
Plants have been suggested, as an alternate remedy for oral-dental problems, and this vocation needs long-term dependability. More research on herbal medicine potential as pharmaceutical sources and/or therapies is needed.
草药疗法在全球范围内被用于治疗各种疾病。尽管没有临床研究证明这些植物具有抗菌、抗微生物和抗菌斑的特性，但这并不意味着它们作为牙周治疗或抗龋药物无效。然而，证实其疗效和价值的研究还很缺乏。
草药在牙科中被用作抗菌、抗肿瘤、防腐剂、抗氧化剂和镇痛药，以及消除口臭的药物。此外，草药制剂在组织工程中的应用促进了口腔和牙齿组织的再生。本研究综述了药用植物在不同方面治疗口腔和牙齿疾病的应用。
本文重点介绍了药用植物和植物化学物质在口腔和牙齿健康中的最新应用进展。通过互联网数据库（主要是 PubMed）进行了广泛的文献回顾。纳入的文章是全文发表的英文出版物，没有任何日期限制。
人们已经提出植物可以作为口腔-牙科问题的替代疗法，这种方法需要长期的可靠性。需要进一步研究草药作为药物来源和/或治疗方法的潜力。
