MEDICAL HERBS IN THE PRACTICE OF A PERIODONTOLOGIST (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

The article provides an overview of the literature data on the use of medicinal herbs in the practice of a dentist in the treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa. In everyday clinical practice, patients who seek dental care for diseases of the oral mucosa present one of the most difficult problems in dentistry due to difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. The problem is further complicated by the fact that so far no measures have been developed for the community-based prophylaxis of oral diseases. Over the past decade, the problem of prevention and treatment of chronic diseases of the oral mucosa has been given considerable attention by domestic and foreign researchers.
