For hundreds of years now the existence and utility of natural products have bolstered the idea that natural products are still the choice for therapy. Their structural diversity and exclusive pharmacological actions differentiate them from drugs of synthetic origin. Not only are they used in traditional ways but also in modern medicine for treating life-threatening diseases. The discovery and design of new drugs from natural products always remain a challenging task. Still, they remain a choice due to their safety profile and negligible side effects. This book focuses on perspectives of natural medicine in various dental diseases. Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem worldwide. Oral health is integral to general well-being and relates to the quality of life that extends beyond the functions of the craniofacial complex. Standard Western medicine has had only limited success in the prevention of periodontal disease and treatment of a variety of oral diseases. The dentist needs to be more informed regarding the use, safety, and effectiveness of the various traditional medicines and over-the-counter products. For example, herbal extracts have been used in dentistry for reducing inflammation, as antimicrobial plaque agents, for preventing the release of histamine and as antiseptics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals, and analgesics. They also aid in healing and are effective in controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis, thereby improving immunity.

The 26 chapters of this book cover the chemistry, clinical and preclinical panorama of natural products used in oral care. In by Singh and Reddy enlists traditional medicinal plants with anti-halitosis efficacy.

This important new volume will be valuable to dentists, oral hygienists, pharmacognosy experts, and natural product formulation scientists alike, either as a textbook or a reference. It is a must-have addition to any dental or herbal industry library. The aim of this book is to be a reference for all those interested in the development of natural oral care as an alternative treatment.

Last, but not the least, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the authors who have taken time out from their busy schedules to be part of this project and have written wonderful chapters that add both to the depth and value of this book. We welcome suggestions and criticisms from our readers. We also acknowledge our mentor Prof. V.K. Dixit Sir for his valuable guidance. Special thanks to our families for their support and encouragement. We express our gratitude to the publishing and production team, especially Martin Scrivener, for their kind, proficient, and encouraging guidance.
