Dental biomaterials and natural products represent two growing
research fields, revealing that plant-derived compounds may play a
role not only as nutraceuticals in affecting oral health but also
in improving physicochemical properties of biomaterials used in
dentistry. Recently, the role of free radicals in healthcare has
attracted tremendous interest in the field of medicine, dentistry
and molecular biology. Free radicals can be either harmful or
helpful to the human body. When there is an imbalance between input
and output of free radicals, a condition called "oxidative stress"
develops. To counteract oxidative stress, the body has protective
antioxidant mechanisms, which aid in lowering the incidence of
various human morbidities and mortalities. The implication of
oxidative stress in the etiology of many chronic and degenerative
diseases suggests that antioxidant therapy represents a promising
avenue for treatment. Thus, various forms of antioxidants have been
introduced as an approach to fight dental diseases and improve
general gingival health. The implication of oxidative stress in the
etiology of chronic and degenerative diseases as well as the body's
protective antioxidant mechanisms and the role dietary antioxidants
play, suggests that antioxidant therapy could act as a beneficial
treatment. The aim of this book is to present all available data
concerning and linking free radicals, antioxidants and bio-active
scaffolds in the utilisation of vitamins, proteins and extracts
rich in bio-active phytochemicals as an avenue for creating
innovative dental biomaterials. These materials are capable of
promoting genuine tissue/cell interface integration and gaining
insight into molecular origin of the mechanism to combat oral
diseases in vitro and eventually in vivo.
