Overview

Phytotherapeutic agents are the bioactive compounds derived from medicinal plants that have emerged as promising adjuncts in periodontal therapy, owing to their multifaceted pharmacological properties. Notably, Curcuma longa (turmeric) demonstrates anti-inflammatory and antiplaque effects comparable to chlorhexidine in managing gingival diseases. Azadirachta indica (neem) and Aloe vera reduce matrix metalloproteinase activity and promote fibroblast proliferation, aiding tissue regeneration. Camellia sinensis (green tea) and Psidium guajava (guava) possess catechins and flavonoids, respectively, offering antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits that enhance periodontal health. The integration of these phytotherapeutic agents into periodontal treatment protocols offers a holistic approach, enhancing clinical outcomes while minimizing adverse effects associated with conventional therapies.
