Antioxidants in Dentistry : A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free radicals play an important role in aging process and disease progression by damage to the cells. They have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various chronic and degenerative conditions including cancer, arthritis, aging, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidants are capable of deactivating free radicals before they attack human cells. In humans, highly complex antioxidant systems (enzymatic and non enzymatic) are generated, which work synergistically and in combination with each other to prevent cells or organs against free radicals. This review discusses the role of antioxidants and their applications in various fields of dentistry.

متن کاملA review of phenolic antioxidants isolated from endophytic fungi
Oxidative stress caused by overproduction of free radicals or oxygenated radical species plays a major role in causing many diseases. The findings suggest the use of antioxidants as compounds to control the release of these radicals or directly prevent their formation. Therefore, antioxidants can be used as drugs to reduce or prevent oxidative stress. Herbal medicines are the basis of modern ph...
