- Abstract
For many years plants have been considered as the source of natural products for the preservation of human health, including the prevention of oral diseases, especially caries and periodontal diseases. Since caries and periodontal diseases are associated with oral pathogens, antimicrobial activity of several plants have been evaluated against pathogenic microorganisms, especially Lippia sidoides Cham, popularly known in Brazil as 'alecrim-pimenta', found in the northeastern region of Brazil. Current analysis comprises a review of the different biological activities of Lippia sidoides Cham, with special reference to its pharmacological properties in the treatment and cure of several diseases, such as caries and periodontal diseases. The above may develop into safe and efficacious pharmaceutical formulations from a natural source.
