Abstract

Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem world-wide. Oral health is integral to general well-being
and relates to the quality-of-life that extends beyond the functions of the craniofacial complex. The standard
Western medicine has had only limited success in the prevention of periodontal disease during orthodontic
treatment and in the treatment of a variety of oral diseases. Hence, the search for alternative products
continues and natural phytochemicals isolated from plants used in traditional medicine are considered to be
good alternatives to synthetic chemicals. The botanicals in the Ayurvedic material medica have been proven to
be safe and effective, through several hundred to several thousand years of use. The exploration of botanicals
used in traditional medicine may lead to the development of novel preventive or therapeutic strategies for
oral health. The present scientific evidence based review is focused on the possible role of Ayurveda in the
management of various orofacial disorders.
