Patients with diabetes have been found to have an increased risk of candidiasis (yeast) and gum (periodontal) disease. This study showed that cinnamon mouthwash has good potential as an anti-fungal (anti-yeast) agent. https://www.ijirr.com/…/default/files/issues-pdf/1907.pdf
Use of Curcumin in periodontal inflammation: “Here we review the anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin and its various forms in modulatory host response as a potential therapy in periodontal diseases. The host mechanism of tissue destruction can be modulated and manipulated to help in the recovery of periodontal tissues. Pharmaceutical giants should get interested in coming together with […]
Healthy diet (fruits, fibre, vegetables, and dairy) versus unhealthy diet (sugars, snacks, and salty/fast foods) as it relates to periodontal disease. “Our findings suggest that both healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns may contribute to reduced or increased extent and severity of periodontitis by local and systemic mechanisms, preceding the effect of other established causes such […]
“This study was conducted to investigate the following: (1) the effects of chewing honey on plaque formation in orthodontic patients, (2) the effect of chewing honey on dental plaque bacterial counts, (3) determine if honey possesses antibacterial effects on bacteria recovered from plaques. Bacterial counts were significantly reduced in the honey group compared to the […]
“Bromelain is a term used to describe proteolytic enzymes found in tissues, such as the stem, fruit, and leaves of pineapple…This article indicates the possible mechanisms through which bromelain may ameliorate the progression and development of periodontitis. Bromelain can act by decreasing periodontal microorganism growth, by proteolytically cleaving important cell surface molecules in leucocytes, by […]
“High-sugar, high-saturated fat, low-polyols, low-fiber and low-polyunsaturated-fat intake causes an increased risk of periodontal diseases. This pattern of nutrients is classically found in the Western diet. An individual adopting an unhealthy diet will be at risk of periodontal disease.”
Triclosan is an antimicrobial ingredient present in more than 2000 consumer and industrial products. “The study, which was conducted in mice, concluded that microbial enzymes induce colitis by reactivating Triclosan in the gastrointestinal tract. By blocking the process in mice, the researchers prevented damage to the colon and symptoms of colitis, which is a form […]
“In the present study, Triphala’s strong antimicrobial effect against Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Clostridium bacilli, and Staphylococcus aureus was detected.”
“ The oral cavity is the gateway for microorganisms into your body where they disseminate not only to the directly connected respiratory and digestive tracts but also to the many remote organs. Oral microbiota, travelling to the end of the intestine and circulating in our bodies through blood vessels, not only affect a gut microbiome […]
One-year effects of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on chronic periodontitis. “Calcium and vitamin D supplementation (≤1,000 IU/day) had a modest positive effect on periodontal health, and consistent dental care improved clinical parameters of periodontal disease regardless of such supplements”
