Aromatherapy: A New Pragmatism in Dentistry [Part-1]
Abstract
One of the most rapidly expanding alternative medicine practises is aromatherapy, which combines massage, counselling, and a pleasant smell with the use of essential oils and aromatic plant compounds. Several clinical studies have already demonstrated the efficacy and usefulness of essential oils. Essential oils can help to reduce the number of pathogens in the mouth and assist in the action of antibiotics and other active components for the treatment of periodontitis, mucositis, and managing dental anxiety. This review will provide an overview of essential oils, including their therapeutic properties and applications.
