Abstract
La periodontitis es una enfermedad originada por una disbiosis en la cavidad oral. Esta disbiosis lleva a la formación de biofilms y esto a su vez lleva a la activación del sistema inmune. Una vez se da la respuesta por parte del organismo aparecerá la inflamación y el daño tisular, que en última instancia dará lugar a la pérdida de las piezas dentales. Una interesante alternativa a la terapéutica más convencional reside en el uso de las plantas medicinales. Vemos como algunas de ellas: Curcuma longa, Vaccinium macrocarpon, etc. Proporcionan tratamientos efectivos y que actúan a varios niveles, tanto sobre la disbiosis como sobre la inflamación y pérdida de hueso. A todo ello se le suma el hecho de que las plantas medicinales son en la mayoría de casos menos agresivas que los principios activos obtenidos por síntesis química.
Periodontitis is a disease caused by dysbiosis in the oral cavity. This dysbiosis leads to the formation of biofilms, turning to immune system activation. Once the body responds, inflammation and tissue damage will appear, leading ultimately to loss of dental pieces. An interesting alternative to the more conventional therapeutics lies in the use of medicinal plants such as Curcuma longa, Vaccinium macrocarpon, etc. They provide effective treatments acting at various levels, both on dysbiosis and inflammation as well as on bone loss. Furthermore, medicinal plants are in most cases less nocive than synthetized active principles.
