N2 - Dental biomaterials and natural products represent two of the main growing
research fields, revealing plant-derived compounds may play a role not only as
nutraceuticals in affecting oral health, but also in improving physico-chemical properties of
biomaterials used in dentistry. Therefore, our aim was to collect all available data concerning
the utilization of plant polysaccharides, proteins and extracts rich in bioactive phytochemicals
in enhancing performance of dental biomaterials. Although compelling evidences are
suggestive of a great potential of plant products in promoting material-tissue/cell interface,
to date, only few authors have investigated their use in development of innovative dental
biomaterials. A small number of studies have reported plant extract-based titanium implant
coatings and periodontal regenerative materials. To the best of our knowledge, this review
is the first to deal with this topic, highlighting a general lack of research findings in an
interesting field which still needs to be investigated
