Potencial fitoterápico do Chenopodium Ambrosioides L. na Odontologia

Abstract

<jats:p>Objective: To perform a narrative bibliographic review addressing scientific research that demonstrates the phytotherapic potential of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (mastruz) in dentistry. Methods: Scientific articles were selected from the databases: PubMED, BBO, LILACS, SCIELO, in addition to dissertations that met the requirements of the topic addressed, published in the period between 2010 and 2020. The research on the platforms took place through the following descriptors, in Portuguese and English: Chenopodium ambrosioides, mastruz, phytotherapy and dentistry. Results: After analyzing the data found, it was observed that Chenopodium ambrosioides L. is a plant native to Central and South America and is widely distributed throughout the Brazilian territory. Its use in folk medicine consists of the treatment of wounds, leukorrhea, inflammatory processes and as an anthelmintic agent. In dentistry, it acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antimicrobial, being able to interfere in the development of biofilm. Conclusion: The advances in studies with Chenopodium ambrosioides L. are quite significant. However, greater applicability of the plant in dentistry is essential through in vivo studies, providing a greater depth of these studies for more concrete analyzes.</jats:p>

Análise prospectiva científica e tecnológica sobre Myracrodruon urundeuva (aroeira do sertão) e a resistência bacteriana

“…Os constituintes solúveis em água (hidrofílicos) podem ser extraídos com água, enquanto os constituintes solúveis em gordura (lipofílicos) são extraídos de uma parte específica da planta com álcool ou outros solventes; estas podem ser obtidas de diferentes partes da planta, como: casca, folha, talo, chips, sementes ou lenho. O uso de extratos obtidos através de plantas tem sido adotado na medicina pela ampla presença de metabólitos secundários que, contribuem com a adaptabilidade da planta, porém pode apresentar diversas atividades terapêuticas, como exemplo, tais compostos podem interagir com alvos importantes de certos patógenos e atuar como potencial antimicrobiano, e a presença desses compostos em sinergismo pode inclusive impossibilitar o aparecimento de mecanismos de resistência servindo como uma potencial estratégia frente a esses microrganismos multirresistentes (Domingos & Silva, 2020, Filipini, & Silva, 2019, Goes et al 2020, GS et al, 2003, Hasenclever et al, 2017.…”
