ABSTRACT

Sudantha extract (SUD) has gained immense popularity among the researchers in the field of dental medicine. It has shown to exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiplasmodial and anti- inflammatory effects. Various components of this extract function by inhibiting major bacterial virulence factors, suppression of gtf genes and inhibition of expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and IL-8. SUD containing herbal toothpaste has been found beneficial in improving oral hygiene; reducing gingival inflammation, bleeding, plaque accumulation etc. However, more evidence and clinical trials are required to validate their use amongst the human population. Keywords: Sudantha extract, dental uses, herbal medicine, oral hygiene, gingivitis, anti-bacterial, anti- inflammatory effect
