EXPLORING THE IMMUNOMODULATORY EFFECTS OF VARIOUS PHYTOCHEMICALS IN DENTISTRY - AN ENCAPSULATION

Abstract

Our immune system has a highly sophisticated defence system that protects the host from invading microorganisms by involving the interaction of a number of cell types, products, tissues and organs. Oral health influences the quality of well-being. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring molecules, which significantly play an imperative role in modulating favourable immune responses. A number of phytochemicals act as potential immunomodulators, hence we ought to discuss their mechanism of action and its applications in dentistry in this review article.
