Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. It is multifactorial in origin which leads to many therapeutic modalities for its management. The use of natural therapies for all kinds of diseases is now being considered for the treatment of many chronic diseases. Herbal drugs in a suitable vehicle such as in the form of a local drug delivery system can be a good adjunct and alternative to conventional periodontal treatment.
