A Fitoterapia é conhecida como a ciência que estuda o efeito farmacológico de plantas com finalidade terapêutica. Os medicamentos fitoterápicos têm despertado o interesse de diversos centros de pesquisas e indústrias e o seu uso vem se intensificando. Pesquisas científicas já comprovaram a eficácia de inúmeros extratos vegetais com aplicabilidade na Medicina e na Odontologia. Dentre as principais plantas com ação terapêutica em afecções bucais estão o cravo-da-índia, a camomila, a romã, a malva, a unha-de-gato e a própolis. Essas plantas têm propriedades antimicrobianas, anti-inflamatórias, cicatrizantes e analgésicas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre a Fitoterapia com ênfase em suas aplicações na Odontologia.

MethodsThe sample was composed of randomly selected individuals that had signed-up for treatment at the Newton Paiva University dental clinic. The volunteers were divided in two groups, the first composed by individuals without periodontitis (n = 30) and the second by individuals with periodontitis (n = 20). All participants answered a questionnaire about habits and overall health condition. Salivary flow was quantified and periodontal examination evaluated bleeding when probed, probing depth and clinical attachment level. Through laboratory tests, the fasting glucose and the glycated hemoglobin levels were quantified. ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 22. Mealey BL, Oates TW. Diabetes mellitus and periodontal diseases.
