THE ROLE OF CANNABIONIDES IN PERIODONTOLOGY

Abstract

Hemp is a dioecious, flowering, and herbaceous plant species that has been utilized throughout human history for various properties and has a wide range of applications including the textile industry, automotive sector, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and food supplements. The medical use of hemp dates back to the pre-Christian era and continued until the 1940s. However, due to the abuse of its psychoactive components, it has been banned in many countries. With the development of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the chemical structure and composition of tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary component responsible for the euphoric effect of hemp, were identified. Subsequently, cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids, and enzymes involved in the endocannabinoid system were discovered. The term cannabinoid encompasses phytocannabinoids derived from hemp, endocannabinoids produced in the human body, and synthetic cannabinoids, all of which can bind to cannabinoid receptors in the human body. The endocannabinoid system is defined as a complex cellular signaling system comprising transmembrane cannabinoid receptors, endogenous ligands, specific uptake mechanisms, biosynthesis, and enzymatic degradation systems. The study of the interaction between the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids has inspired new perspectives for the treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases. As a result, current research demonstrates that the endocannabinoid system and various types of cannabinoids play a significant role in the pathogenesis and treatment of conditions affecting oral tissues and cells. It has been shown that the endocannabinoid system may regulate inflammatory responses and halt the inflammation progression. Existing data support the therapeutic use of cannabinoids as a potential option for patients with periodontitis.

"The truest guide for everything in the world, for civilization, for life, for success, is science. Seeking a guide outside of science and science is heedlessness, ignorance, and deviating from the right path. It is only necessary to understand the development of science and science in every minute we live and to follow the progress in time. To attempt to apply the rules of science and science a thousand, two thousand, and thousands of years ago, today, after so many thousand years, is, of course, not to be in science and science."
