There is increasing public interest in natural or herbal‐based healthcare products. This trend is not only visible in supermarkets and dental practices, but also in the scientific world. An improving number of clinical trials are being conducted to validate the claims made about these products in regards to periodontal health. Among single component preparations, Aloe vera and green tea are the most studied natural ingredients. Concerning polyherbal mixtures, triphala has garnered great interest. The effects of these natural products on periodontal health is encouraging, with almost all studies showing an inhibitory effect on plaque accumulation and an improvement in gingival health. However, more studies are needed to be able to design clinical guidelines to guide the use of these natural products in periodontal practice. For most of these products, few studies are available and, moreover, the available studies are limited in duration, the number of participants, and the specific composition of the natural product is often not described in detail.

基于天然产品的新型口服外用漱口水和牙膏，可预防牙周疾病。

公众对基于天然或草药的保健产品的兴趣与日俱增。这种趋势不仅在超级市场和牙科诊所中可见，而且在科学界也可见。为了验证有关这些产品在牙周健康方面的主张，正在进行越来越多的临床试验。在单组分制剂中，芦荟和绿茶是研究最多的天然成分。关于多草药混合物，Triphala引起了极大的兴趣。这些天然产物对牙周健康的影响令人鼓舞，几乎所有研究都显示出对牙菌斑积聚的抑制作用以及牙龈健康的改善。然而，需要更多的研究来设计临床指南，以指导这些天然产品在牙周实践中的使用。对于这些产品中的大多数，几乎没有可用的研究，此外，可用的研究在持续时间，参与者人数上受到限制，并且天然产物的具体组成通常没有详细描述。
