Chronic periodontitis is one of the common human diseases, and its main characteristics are periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone destruction. The traditional treatment method is mechanical treatment. At present, antibiotics are commonly used to treat chronic periodontitis. Due to its side effects such as drug resistance and disruption of microbial environment, the natural medicine gradually show their advantages, it becomes a research hotspot. Since antiquity, Chinese traditional medicine and compound preparations have been used in the prevention and treatment of oral diseases. This article shows the research progress of natural plant in the treatment of chronic periodontitis.
