New herbal species had been discovered for the therapy of dental pain, aphthae, alveolar pyorrhea, dental plaque, and dental caries prevention. These plants, upIlic, et al.: Dental phytotherapy in Balkan regionto that time, had not been recognized and classified in Indian ethnobotanical and phytotaxonomical literature [14,33]. Usefulness of comparative evaluation showed the ethnomedicinal research inside the Valproic acid (sodium salt) site regions of Eskimos, Papua Island’s tribes, East Africans, Amazonian Brazilians, and so forth., [6,12]. Hence, the similarity in dental recipes was located in literature: Italian ethnologists carried out the exact same work recorded several herbal recipes in Albanian immigrant population in South Italy, unknown as much as then. The added animal constituents, what they used [9], had been comparable to the Serbian mixture prescriptions which almost certainly came in the Albanian nation from Kosovo into central Serbian regions. The second example was the case when plain population, mainly villager and farmers, were compelled to make use of low-priced and “within reach” medicaments, what was amazingly related in between Serbian [34] and Dinka population (African mainly Christian Ethiopian tribe). (To remember that Orthodox Christianity in Ethiopia was established within the 4th century). Each populations applied ash mixture of burned cow dung for teeth cleaning by fingers. The third case was copper sulfate mixed by herbs powder as a frequent recipe for toothache and painful gums relief in Serbia [34], as well as in India [14,33]. A few of the recorded plants in our ETD study had the comparable advantageous effect like sage. What a pity they may be nevertheless not in use, concerning the presence of sage extracts in a lot of dental solutions for oral care, exposing even six valuable effects, like antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and odorant drugs. Those plants might be categorized into several pharmacological groups, namely, sialogogues, antisecretolytics, tonics, adstringents, styptics, antiseptics, sedatives, antineuralgics, anesthetics, vulneraries, antibiotics, and corrigenses. They exposed beneficial impact in dental medicine by way of the following active principles: Alkaloids, heterosides, saponins, crucial oils of aromatic herbs, tannins, flavonoids, mucinous matters, phytocides, vitamins, etc., most of them demonstrated antioxidant, immunostimulate, and anticancer effects. In accordance with our best understanding, beside mineral substances, the following plant species had been noted in this ETD study: Broom, rosemary, coltsfoot flower, yellow iris, licorice, marigold, black grapes, cranberry, spinach, henbane, celandine, walnut leaf, onion, petal and oil of red rose, immortelle, garlic, root/ leaf of blackberry, dandelion juice, yarrow, nettle, plantain, basil, chips of pine log, madder, common mallow, radish, grape hyacinth, rue, bilberry, blueweed, barberry, elder, calamus, hedge bindweed, pine marten resin, grain brandy, and incense. These species have not been but applied nor their derivatives inside the recent dental phytotherapy. The advantage with the study might be attributed to botany, botanic terminology, pharmacognosy, and ethnopharmacy. As far because the wrong mode of classic dental treatment, essentially the most of sorcery and magic curing was noted in rural and isolated places. These days, in those regions a growing number of experienced advantageous herbal prescriptions are in use even close to contemporary dental offices. Even so, classic dental recipes are typically adjuvant and in some cases competitive to modernones, b.
