Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Oral diseases are major health problems among which dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most important preventable diseases. When these conditions are not arrested,they cause formation of periodontal pockets.Periodontal diseases havebeen linked to bacteria like Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Treponema denticola, T.socranskii, P.intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis.[1] The need to develop an alternative prevention and treatment option to antibacterial agents, is to avoid side-effects of the antibiotics and the increased resistance of the bacteria. Hence, natural herbs and ayurvedic drugs have become a subject of importance.[2]
