Medicinal plants are considered as a major asset in any society. The role of these plants is more visible today than ever before and requires a stronger position every day. In recent years, research on their effects in various areas, including the fight against disease. Today's lifestyle changes have caused various foods to cause more serious harm to humans by having substances and plaques that destroy oral tissue health. Viral and bacterial as well as using like mouthwashes and cleaners, fight against cancer and dietary supplements are developing and evolving. Chemical drugs, due to their side effects, sometimes damage other parts of the body. They need to be researched more in the future. In this short review paper, the effects of some of the most important medicinal plants like Curcuma longa, Ananas comosus, Zingiber offinale, Salvia rosmarinus, Mentha piperita and Syzygium aromaticum, that are used today to treat and improve oral health issues are introduced. Finally, suggestions for better and more use are given.

“…Found in China, Japan, and Korea, it is widely cultivated for its fine wood and dark bark [19]. C. obtuse essential oil exerts anti-inflammatory effects through cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in rats, and cypress oil C. obtusa reportedly has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects [20][21][22]. Its effects against various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli, have been demonstrated, and C. obtusa essential oil is included as an active ingredient in commercial cleaning agents and oral hygiene products [23].…”

Background and Objectives: Chamaecyparis obtusa (C. obtuse) extract has been used as a folk medicinal remedy in East Asian countries to alleviate inflammation and prevent allergies. Active oxygen causes skin aging and leads to skin cell and tissue damage. Extensive research has been conducted to control active oxygen generation to prevent skin aging. We evaluated the antioxidant activity and antiwrinkle effect of C. obtusa extract to determine its potential as a cosmetic material. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant activity of a 70% ethanol extract of C. obtusa (COE 70) and a water extract of C. obtusa (COW) was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH) scavenging, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) scavenging, superoxide dismutase-like activity, xanthine oxidase inhibition, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power assays. The effective concentration of the extracts was determined using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay to evaluate their toxicity. The effects of COE 70 on the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and procollagen, and expression of activated cytokines, interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), in UVA-irradiated fibroblasts were determined using quantitative real-time PCR. Additionally, quercitrin, amentoflavone, hinokiflavone, and myricetin concentrations in COE 70 were determined using high-pressure high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: COE 70 had higher polyphenol and flavonoid concentrations than COW and exhibited an excellent antioxidant effect. COE 70 suppressed UVA-induced fibroblast death by 21.3% at 25 µg/mL. It also increased MMP-1, MMP-3, TNF-α, and IL-6 mRNA levels at 5–25 µg/mL compared with those in control UVA-irradiated fibroblasts. Moreover, mRNA levels of collagen type I and superoxide dismutase significantly increased, indicating the antiwrinkle and anti-inflammatory effects of the extract. Among the COE 70 components, quercitrin concentration was the highest; hence, quercitrin could be an active ingredient. Conclusions: COE 70 could be used as a natural antioxidant and antiwrinkle agent.

“…In recent years, several studies have been conducted to measure the antioxidant, flavonoid, and phenolic compounds of plants. Findings suggested the effectiveness of these compounds in inhibiting of free radicals (12)(13)(14). Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, family Zingiberaceae) is a plant with a rhizome that grows to a height of 90 cm; its underground swollen stem used as a medicinal plant.…”

Introduction: Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as oxidants are important concerns in medicine due to their adversative effects and risk of carcinogenicity. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals and ROS thus possesses protective effect on the body. Plants are rich sources of natural antioxidants and phenolic compounds are among the most important antioxidants in the plants; therefore, many studies have investigated their protective effects. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the number of flavonoids, flavonols, and total phenolic compounds in 10 commonly used medicinal plants in Iran. Materials and Methods: Extraction was performed using 70% ethanol solvent. The extracts were concentrated by rotary evaporator at 40°C. Folin-Ciocalteu method was used to measure the amount of phenol. The amount of flavonol was measured using 2% aluminum chloride and 5% sodium acetate. In addition, to determine the flavonoid compounds, 2% aluminum chloride and 5% potassium acetate was used. Results: The outcomes of this study disclosed that the studied plants had reasonably high quantities of flavonoid and phenolic compounds. The uppermost amount of phenolic compounds was detected in the myrtle plant (62.7 mg/g), and the lowermost amounts were detected in fig leaves and lemon balm. Moreover, the highest amount of flavonoid compounds was detected in ginger, myrobalan, and myrtle; the measured amounts of flavonoid compounds in the mentioned plants were 42.49, 32.15, and 34.38 mg/g, respectively. The highest amount of phenolic compound was detected in hydroalcoholic extract of barberry. Conclusion: Hydroalcoholic extract of ginger, barberry, fig leaves, rhubarb, myrobalan, walnut diaphragm, pomegranate peel, lemon balm, cardamom, and myrtle had great quantities of phenolic, flavonol, and flavonoid compounds. As a result, these herbal plants can be considered and used as an important source of natural antioxidants.
