Role of Phytomedicine in Periodontics

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that oral disorders impact around 3.5 billion people worldwide and are a major concern. Tooth decay, periodontitis, dentition loss, oral and lip malignancies, and dry mouth are the most prevalent oral health issues [1]. Caries and severe periodontal infections are significant causes of tooth loss in adults, even with the natural aging process [2] . The frequency of periodontitis rises to 70–85% in people aged 60–65.[3] One of the most important issues pertaining to tooth health is periodontal disease. Only a small percentage of individuals worldwide are thought to have completely healthy teeth, and the WHO estimates that up to 3.5 billion people may be afflicted by oral disorders.
