“Promising potential effects of resveratrol on oral and dental health maintenance: a comprehensive review” (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2024–2025)

The essence of the article

This article is a review paper that collects research on resveratrol and its role in oral and dental health. It concludes: Resveratrol is a polyphenol from plants (such as red grapes, mulberries, etc.).

It has “high potential” to help maintain dental and oral health.

Main mechanisms and benefits for oral health

1. Prevent tooth decay (Anti-caries)

Inhibits bacteria that cause tooth decay, such as acid-producing groups.

Disturbs biofilm/dental plaque formation

Reduce the adhesion of bacteria on the tooth surface.

● Result: Reduces the chance of tooth decay.

2. Strengthen tooth enamel (Enamel remineralization)

stimulate the process remineralization

Makes teeth more resistant to acid.

● Results: Stronger teeth. Reduce corrosion

3. Protect the dentin (Dentin protection)

Reduces deterioration and corrosion of dentin.

Helps reduce tooth sensitivity

4. Anti-inflammatory (Anti-inflammatory)

Reduce inflammation in oral diseases such as

pulpitis

Periodontal disease

Helps control immune response

● Results: Reduce swelling, bleeding, and gingivitis.

5. Antimicrobial (Antimicrobial)

Inhibits pathogenic bacteria in the mouth

Disturbs quorum sensing (bacterial communication)

cause the biofilm to break down

● Results: Reduces plaque and infection.

6. Helps treat periodontal disease (Periodontal support)

Experimental research found that

● Reduce bone loss in tooth sockets.

● Increase antioxidant enzymes.

7. Enhance the durability of dental filling materials

Helps extend the life of dental restorative materials

Prevents deterioration of the bonding interface.

Easy to understand summary

Resveratrol has the potential to help with many aspects of oral care:

● Reduce tooth decay.

● Kills bacteria.

● Reduce inflammation.

● Strengthens tooth structure.

● Helps with gum disease.
