The understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases is continuously evolving and, in the management, and control of the disease. Current management of periodontal diseases, centers, primarily on non-specific reduction of the microbial load by mechanical debridement and adjunctive use of antimicrobial agents. However, with increased awareness of the deleterious effects of synthetic antimicrobials, the management has now shifted on naturally occurring plant derived agents. Phytotherapeutic agents are safe, cost effective and efficient antimicrobials and their utility as adjuncts in prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases looks promising. So this review aims to summarize the current scientific evidence on the use of various plant-based remedies in periodontics. Additionally, the review discusses about the potential applications, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties and future perspectives concerning the integration of natural remedies as adjuncts in periodontal care.
