 Abstract

In many countries, scientific investigations of medicinal plants have been initiated to understand their contribution to oral healthcare. Documenting indigenous knowledge through ethnobotanical studies is important for the conservation of biological resources and their sustainable utilization. In the present review, 23 species of trees have been identified as being potentially useful for oral healthcare by the Indian population. Trees continue to play a significant role in the socio-cultural life of India.
