Dr. H.S. Grover, Dr. Pearl Bhardwaj

Periodontal diseases are one of the oldest diseases from which mankind has suffered. Over the years the description of their etiopathogenesis has evolved as our understanding of these diseases has grown. Till date, mechanotherapy has been considered the mainstay of treatment of these disorders. However, various adjuncts are now being used to enhance the effect of conventional therapy. Green tea, which has been extensively used in traditional systems of medicine is coming up as a useful natural product that can be used as an addendum to augment the prevailing treatment methods.
