Abstract

Periodontal hastalık, mevcut oral floranın disbiyozu nedeniyle periodonsiyumun yıkımına yol açan ilerleyici, enfeksiyöz bir inflamatuvar hastalıktır. Patojenik mikroorganizmalar, periodontal hastalığın etiyolojik faktörüdür, patojene karşı gelişen immüno-inflamatuvar yanıt hastalığın ilerlemesinde rol oynar. Periodontal hastalık sırasında, reaktif oksijen türlerinin aşırı üretimi ile onları detoksifiye eden antioksidanların yetersizliği sonucu oksidatif stres meydana gelir. Oksidatif stres, periodonsiyumun yıkımına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, reaktif oksijen türlerinin antagonisti olarak, antioksidanlar periodontal hastalıkların tedavisinde yardımcı olabilmektedir. Bitkiler, periodontal sağlığın korunmasında eşsiz rol oynayan bazı dikkat çekici özelliklere sahiptir. Bu özellikler geleneksel periodontal tedavinin sonuçlarını iyileştirebilecek potansiyele sahiptir. Bu derlemenin amacı, periodontal hastalıkların tedavisine potansiyel katkıları olan çeşitli esansiyel yağlar hakkında bilgi vermektir.

Abstract

Periodontal disease is a progressive, infectious inflammatory disease that leads to the destruction of the periodontium due to dysbiosis of the existing oral flora. Pathogenic microorganisms are the etiological factor of periodontal disease, the immuno-inflammatory response against the pathogen plays a role in the progression of the disease. During periodontal disease, oxidative stress occurs as a result of overproduction of reactive oxygen species and insufficiency of antioxidants that detoxify them. Oxidative stress causes destruction of the periodontium. Therefore, as antagonists of reactive oxygen species, antioxidants can help in the treatment of periodontal diseases. Plants have some remarkable properties that play a unique role in maintaining periodontal health. These properties have the potential to improve the results of traditional periodontal treatment. The purpose of this review is to provide information about various essential oils that have potential contributions to the treatment of periodontal diseases.
