Uses of Pomegranate in Dentistry: A Comprehensive Review of Literature
Main Article Content
Abstract
The most prevalent diseases in the oral medicine field have bacterial and fungal origins. Different therapeutic ways are available for oral diseases; however, the most crucial disadvantage of traditional drug therapies is their side effects. As a result, researchers are looking for new herbal medicines to treat oral diseases. Recently Punica granatum has received the attention of researchers due to its numerous benefits. This review provides an overview of pomegranate’s impacts on oral health and oral microbiome in addition to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other valuable features. Pomegranate can be used as an herbal cure, and scientists are encouraged to use it in cancer prevention. Moreover, characteristics, chemical composition, bactericidal action, and therapeutic uses are discussed in this paper.
