Diş Hekimliğinde Aromaterapi

Abstract

Aromaterapi; bitkisel uçucu yağların ve aromatik bitkisel bileşiklerin hastalıkların önlenmesinde ya da tedavisinde topikal olarak veya inhalasyon yolu ile uygulanan tedavi yaklaşımıdır. Geçmişten günümüze kadar geleneksel, alternatif veya tamamlayıcı tedavi yaklaşımları olarak tıp ve diş hekimliğinin çeşitli alanlarında kullanılması önerilen uçucu yağların antibakteriyel, antiviral, antifungal, analjezik, sedatif gibi farklı etkiler gösterdiği bildirilmektedir. Bu derleme, diş hekimliğinde kullanılabileceği belirtilen uçucu yağların tanımlanması, uygulanma alanlarının ve tedavi etkinliklerinin incelenmesi amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aromaterapiye ilişkin dental literatürler değerlendirildiğinde; uçucu yağların oral mukoza ve dişeti hastalıklarının tedavisinde, diş çürüğünün önlenmesinde, remineralizasyonda, endodontik ve restoratif tedavide, halitoziste, anksiyete kontrolünde kullanılabileceğinin önerildiği görülmektedir. Çay ağacı, karanfil, lavanta, kekik, tarçın, okaliptüs, nane ve limon uçucu yağları ise diş hekimliğinde en çok uygulanan uçucu yağlar olarak belirtilmektedir. Candida enfeksiyonunda çay ağacı, kekik, tarçın, nane, limon; stomatitiste okaliptüs, lavanta; dişeti hastalıklarında çay ağacı, tarçın, okaliptüs; ağız çalkalama solüsyonu olarak çay ağacı yağı, nane; diş çürüğünün önlenmesinde ve remineralizasyonunda çay ağacı yağı, karanfil, kekik, tarçın, limon; pulpa tedavilerinde karanfil, kanal patlarında karanfil, kekik; restoratif materyallerin antimikrobiyal özelliklerinin artırılmasında kekik, tarçın; halitoziste tarçın, okaliptus, nane; dental anksiyete kontrolünde lavanta ve topikal anestezide karanfil uçucu yağlarının kullanılabileceği bildirilmektedir. Kullanım güvenirliliklerine ilişkin deneysel çalışmaların artırılması ve tedavide etkili minimum dozlarının belirlenmesi ile uçucu yağların diş hekimliği klinik uygulamalarında kullanımının gelecekte artacağı öngörülmektedir.

Aromatherapy in Dentistry

Abstract

Aromatherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses herbal essential oils and aromatic herbal components applied topically or through inhalation to prevent or treat diseases. The essential oils recommended in various fields of medicine and dentistry as traditional, alternative, or complementary treatment approaches from past to present have been reported as to have various effects such as antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, analgesic, or sedative. This review aims to define the essential oils used in dentistry as well as to analyse the application areas and efficiency of treatments. When dental literatures on aromatherapy have been evaluated, it is seen that essential oils are recommended to be used in treatment of gingival diseases and oral mucosa, preventing dental caries, remineralisation, endodontic-restorative treatment, halitosis, and anxiety control. Tea tree, clove, lavender, thyme, cinnamon, eucalyptus, mint, and lemon are reported as the most frequently used essential oils in dentistry. It has been reported that tea tree, thyme, cinnamon, mint, lemon can be used for candida infection; eucalyptus, lavender for stomatitis; tea tree, cinnamon, eucalyptus for gingival diseases; tea tree oil, mint as mouthwash; tea tree oil, clove, thyme, cinnamon, lemon for preventing tooth decay and remineralisation; clove for pulp treatments; thyme, cinnamon to increase antimicrobial properties of restorative materials; cinnamon, eucalyptus, mint for halitosis; lavender in controlling dental anxiety and clove for topical anaesthesia. It is predicted that as studies on usage reliability increase and minimum doses efficient for treatments are identified, the use of essential oils in clinical dentistry will be increased in the future.
