Conclusions

Abstract

After reviewing the case reports and previously reported documented literature described in this book, it can be concluded that further research is needed to include the active herbal extracts or phytochemicals in already existing treatment regimens as supportive therapy or an entirely new regimen. Moreover, it is also crucial to assess the safety and efficacy of the plant extracts, purified phytochemicals, and essential oils in the ongoing clinical trials that can help to reduce the overall burden of oral diseases worldwide. More importantly, specific research projects must be designed and executed concerning the issues of adequate population size with suitable statistical power, quality control, and standardization of purified compounds or extracts.
