Calendula :- A Blooming Alternative Against Periopathogens

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2

Abstract

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the tooth and supporting structures with signs of alveolar bone and connective tissue loss and is mediated by combination of periodontal pathogens and host defense system. The most common treatment for periodontal disease is scaling and root planing (SRP) which has been confirmed as a gold standard treatment of periodontitis. However, the limitations of SRP are the inability to access deeper areas of gingival sulcus which leads to early microbial recolonization and recurrence of periodontitis. In the recent years, most of the researcher’s interest has shifted in evaluating the antimicrobial properties of different parts of the plant researchers to investigate regarding local delivery of drugs prepared from them which can reach the inaccessible areas of the gingival sulcus, to decrease the current problems associated with the wide scale misuse of antibiotics that induce microbial drug resistance.
