title: [Traditional use of plants in oral disease. (Study made after a Tunisian experience but with possible application in other countries)].
abstract: Twenty-five plants, traditionally used in bucco-dental diseases, in Tunisia, were indexed during this study. The most frequently found indications are: Odontalgia, Inflammation of the oral mucosa, Bad breath, Progressing dental cavities. The study of the known chemical and pharmacological properties of some of these plants, demonstrates that these properties are widely justified.
