Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Periodontal disease is a chronic condition caused by microbial infection and mediated by the host\'s immune response. Phytotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes a renewable resource capable of supplying less expensive medicines for the world\'s growing population. This review aimed to present clinical evidence on the use of complementary medicinal herbs in the treatment of periodontal diseases.
METHODS: Different databases were searched using the terms \"herbal\" and \"periodontitis.\" All included studies were examined with a focus on herbal indications, type, and prescription length. Dentists\' therapeutic and prophylactic herbal prescribing habits were also assessed.
RESULTS: Various herbs such as turmeric, neem, aloe-vera, pomegranate, catechu, tulsi, cloves, lemon grass, green tea, tea tree oil, peppermint, garlic, pineapple, oak bark, babul, bakul, sage, coriander, moringa, amla, guava, and grape seed extract have been used in the treatment of periodontitis. These herbs have been reported to exhibit a range of therapeutic effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiplaque, antihalitosis, antiresorptive, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties. These components can be utilized in various forms such as mouth rinse, gel, oil, toothpaste, aqueous extract, mouthwash, or tooth powder.
CONCLUSIONS: Several readily available herbal formulations are now available on the market and have been shown to be effective as supplemental periodontal phytotherapy. However, these should be used under the supervision of a dental professional to ensure optimal benefits and effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the understanding of suggested herbal prescription practices among dental professionals.

摘要：
目的：牙周病是由宿主免疫应答介导的微生物感染引起的慢性疾病。植物疗法是一种利用可再生资源的治疗方法，能够为世界上不断增长的人口提供更便宜的药物。这篇综述旨在提供有关使用补充草药治疗牙周病的临床证据。
方法：使用术语“草药”和“牙周炎”搜索不同的数据库。“所有纳入的研究都集中在草药适应症上进行了检查，type,和处方长度。还评估了牙医的治疗和预防草药处方习惯。
结果：各种草药，如姜黄，neem,芦荟,石榴,Catechu,tulsi,丁香,柠檬草,绿茶,茶树油,薄荷,大蒜，大蒜菠萝,橡树皮,babul,Bakul,Sage,香菜,辣木,amla,番石榴,和葡萄籽提取物已用于牙周炎的治疗。据报道，这些草药具有一系列的治疗效果，包括消炎药,抗斑,抗口臭,抗吸收，抗氧化剂，抗菌，抗真菌药,抗病毒，和抗菌性能。这些组件可以以各种形式使用，例如漱口水，凝胶,油,牙膏,水提取物，漱口水,或者牙粉.
结论：现在市场上有几种容易获得的草药制剂，并已被证明作为牙周植物疗法的补充有效。然而,这些应在牙科专业人员的监督下使用，以确保最佳的利益和有效性。因此,有必要提高牙科专业人员对建议的草药处方实践的理解。
