ABSTRACT

Continuous change in socio-economic status has made people concerned about their oral health. Utilization of natural plant product has gained popularity since last few years. M.oleifera is a plant with abundant trace elements present in all its parts in good concentration. These trace elements need extraction in their good concentrated form for future application in oral healthcare for management of various diseases caused due to deficiency of micronutrients. Various methods for extraction have been adopted by different researchers. This review focuses on the benefits of essential trace elements from Moringa in oral health and directs to a comparative study of commonly used methodologies on basis of their advantages, limitations and economic convenience which help to estimate suitability and economic viability of the methods to obtain the trace elements in their most concentrated form The trace elements from M. oleifera can be used as future alternative in oral health care and on the basis of accuracy, simplicity in operation and cost- effective nature fame atomic absorption spectrometry would be effective one for analysis of the elements. Key words: Trace elements, Oral health, Fame atomic absorption spectrometry, M. oleifera, Micronutrient profile.
