Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that leads to tissue damage and bone loss. Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.Oxidative stress is considered to be the heart of periodontal tissue damage that results from host- microbial interactions.Various studies shows that antioxidant therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of periodontitis.
