Phytotherapy in Dentistry: A Literature Review Based on Clinical Data

Abstract

<jats:p>Aims: Looking for scientific support with an updated review about herbal medicines usage in dentistry for clinical application, reinforcing the potential of phytotherapics to treat oral disorders and the need for new studies on the topic.&#x0D; Material and Methods: The literature search was performed combining “phytotherapy” and “dentistry” in the PubMed, MEDLINE, BBO, LILACS and SciELO databases, covering the period from January 2017 to March 2020. The data extracted were: Alteration/oral disease, gender, age, number of participants, herbal medicine used, drug function and results.&#x0D; Results: were selected 24 papers that employed different plants, such as Tulsi, Aloe vera, citronella, turmeric, propolis and cloves. The results found are promising and show the anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral and tranquilizer action of herbal drugs, and their use for treating burning mouth syndrome, oral submucous fibrosis, xerostomia and halitosis.&#x0D; Conclusion: despite the therapeutic activities of herbal medicines, additional studies with larger sample size and scientific rigor are necessary to prove their benefits for treating oral diseases.</jats:p>

Cannabidiol for Oral Health: A New Promising Therapeutical Tool in Dentistry

“…The patents registered for applying CBD in dentistry are mostly related to oral care formulations rather than for its use for oral diseases. Thus, given the modern tendency towards the use of natural products [158], there is plenty of space for CBD exploration for potential dentistry-related applications. Furthermore, thanks to the current low cost of these plant derived compounds, CBD and synthetic analogs are promising drugs for several diseases [159].…”

Cannabidiol in Dentistry: A Scoping Review

“…The patents deposited with the application of CBD in dentistry were mostly related to products for oral care. This area seems to offer space for exploration of CBD due to the multiplicity of potential dentistry-related applications and the increasing interest in natural products [ 40 , 41 ]. The incentive to the industrial exploitation of CBD in dentistry through the consolidation of policies to stimulate scientific and technological projects could result in economic growth based on research [ 42 ].…”

Current Situation and Issues of Digital Transformation in Education at a High School in Hung Yen Province

“…On clarifying the influential personal contact via online platform, it is gleaned from Table 1 that learners were unable to learn on their own without being given instruction (M = 1.72), which denotes that learner autonomy needs activating to become familiar to flipped or hybrid learning mode. This model has drawn the focal attention among the pedagogical experts [16], [17], [18]. In addition, the online learning mode might deter the way high school learners developed their interpersonal skills with their peers as well as their teachers (M = 2.77).…”

“…At the end of the online assessment session, the results, answers or instant feedback about the chosen topic could inform the test takers immediately. Nevertheless, the exam security might pose some concerns, it is susceptible to online exam cheating, the online system is hacked, or even the online system is crashed and cannot recover the data [15], [16], [18]. In terms of considering digital transmission as effective teaching tools, Table 3 connotes that about two thirds of teachers agreed to supply enough learning resources for their learners to study online (n = 12; same as 70.4%).…”
