- This literature review explores 20 medicinal plants known for their antioxidant properties, highlighting their efficacy in promoting oral health and combating common dental issues like caries and periodontal diseases.
- It emphasizes the role of antioxidant EOs in inhibiting harmful oral pathogens, reducing plaque formation, and alleviating oral disease symptoms.
Article Abstract
Plant-derived phytochemicals have been touted as viable substitutes in a variety of diseases. All over the world, dentists have turned to natural remedies for dental cure due to the negative possessions of certain antibacterial mediators used in dentistry. Antimicrobial and other drugs are currently in use, but they show some side effects. Since ancient times, antioxidant EOs have been used for different ailments and have grown in popularity over time. Several in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trials have shown the safety and effectiveness of antioxidant essential oils (EOs) in oral health obtained from medicinal plants. The current review of literature provides a summary of secondary metabolites, more specifically EOs from 20 most commonly used medicinal plants and their applications in maintaining oral health. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are the most common and preventable global infectious diseases, with diseases of the oral cavity being considered major diseases affecting a person's health. Several clinical studies have shown a connection between oral diseases and oral microbiota. This review discusses the role of antioxidant secondary metabolites in inhibiting the growth of oral pathogens and reducing the formation of dental plaque, and as well as reducing the symptoms of oral diseases. This review article contributes a basic outline of essential oils and their healing actions.

Radish is an important vegetable worldwide, with wide medicinal functions and health benefits. The quality of radish, strongly affected by phytochemicals like flavonoids and glucosinolates, are quite different depending on the radish varieties. However, the comprehensive accumulation profiles of secondary metabolites and their molecular regulatory mechanisms in different radish cultivars remain unclear thus far.

Drought is a persistent and serious threat to crop yield and quality. The identification and functional characterization of drought tolerance-related genes is thus vital for efforts to support the genetic improvement of drought-tolerant crops. Barley is highly adaptable and renowned for its robust stress resistance, making it an ideal subject for efforts to explore genes related to drought tolerance.
