BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies is calling for submissions to our Collection on Natural products and therapies in the dental field.
The use of natural products and therapies in dentistry has gained significant attention as a complementary approach to traditional dental treatments. With a rich history rooted in traditional medicine, natural products such as herbal extracts, essential oils, and other bioactive compounds are being explored for their potential benefits in managing oral diseases, enhancing oral health, and promoting gum health. Recent studies have highlighted the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of various natural substances, paving the way for innovative therapies that can address common dental issues such as caries and periodontal disease.
The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Antimicrobial properties of natural products in dentistry
- Anti-inflammatory therapies for gum health
- Natural remedies for caries management
- Herbal extracts in the treatment of oral diseases
Advancing our collective understanding of natural products in the dental field is crucial for developing safe, effective, and sustainable treatment options. Important advances have already been made, including the identification of specific natural compounds that exhibit promising antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens and the exploration of their synergistic effects with conventional treatments.
