ABSTRACT
The knowledge on medicinal plants has been based on different medicinal systems such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha. In India, plant species serve as regular sources of medicine. Herbal products are preferred due to wide biological activity, higher safety margin, and lower costs. Furthermore, the conventional drugs can cause various side effects, and their continuous intake has resulted in antibiotic resistance. Periodontal diseases are common and can affect up to 90% of the world population. Gingivitis has been described as a mild form whereas periodontitis is an irreversible loss of supporting structures of the teeth.
