Q plants and their products used currently.

Answer:

Plants Products

Salvadorapersica Tooth brush or Miswak or Arak Azadirachta indica / Neem bark Oral deodorant, toothache reliever Eucalyptus Mouth wash Sanguinarine Viadent tooth paste Syzygium aromaticum / clove Clove Oil (Dental care) and Tooth paste (Colgate

Q reason that why they are used.

Answer:

Reason for Salvadorapersica:

From an ancient tool to a modern way of improving oral health, Salvadorapersica (miswak) has proven to be an effective tool for oral health. The miswak removes the bacterial plaque by mechanical and chemical actions. It provides a cheap and easily accessible way of improving oral health of the individuals and populations.

Reason for Azadirachta indica / Neem bark:

ts antibacterial properties due to the presence of nimbidin, Azadirachtin, and nimbinin help to remove many oral aerobic and anaerobic pathogens existing in the oral cavity. Neem bark and leaf extract is most effectively used in preventing cavities and gum disease.

Reason for Eucalyptus:

Research indicates it has antibacterial and anti-plaque properties, which enables it to help fight gum disease and decay. Historically, it has been used to help heal wounds, address pain, and diminish inflammation too. It has a potent, yet refreshing, flavour.

Reason for Sanguinarine:

Sanguinaria extract is composed of sanguinarine and five other closely related alkaloids. The safety profile of both sanguinarine and sanguinaria extract provide a broad margin for their safe use in oral health products. Sanguinarine has broad antimicrobial activity as well as antiinflammatory properties.

Reason for Syzygium aromaticum / clove:

It has a strong, warm, and spicy taste. To use it for a toothache, dip a clean tissue, cotton swab, or cotton ball into the oil and wipe it over the gums at the point of the pain. People can also use whole cloves. Simply place them on the affected area for several minutes at a time.

Q is their advantages, and why they can be preferred over synthetic

products.

Answer:

Advantages:

Substances that are consumed daily or occasionally may influence an individual’s oral health. Some substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, and areca nut, adversely affect the oral region. However, some other substances, such as honey and green tea, which have antimicrobial properties, and berries, which have anti carcinogenic potential, exhibit beneficial effects on oral health. The effectiveness of synthetic drugs in maintaining oral health cannot be ignored; however, the benefits of synthetic drugs are associated with adverse effects and high costs. By contrast, the medicinal use of natural substances is associated with safety, affordability, and long-term benefits. In this paper, we review various natural substances that are potentially beneficial to oral health.

Why they can be preferred over synthetic products:

Various medications are commonly used for managing oral diseases and infections. These substances are mostly chemical and synthetic derivatives, and their users experience several adverse effects. However, we commonly use natural substances that have potential beneficial effects on oral health. In addition to improving oral hygiene, these natural substances have been reported to effectively alleviate various oral maladies. The primary advantage of using natural substances is that unlike their synthetic and chemical counterparts, they do not cause any major side effects.
