Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory condition, caused by bacteria, that leads to the destruction of supporting tissues around teeth, resulting ultimately in significant morbidity as a result of infection, pain and tooth loss. Curcumin, from the ischolar_main of the turmeric plant Curcuma longa, is an extended pseudo symmetric polyphenol. In recent years, in vitro and in vivo research has suggested that curcumin has anticarcinogenic, antiviral, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of this review is to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and anti inflammatory property of curcumin in periodontal disease. An electronic search was carried out using the keywords ‘curcumin’, ‘periodontal’ and ‘periodontitis’ via the PubMed/Medline, ISI Web of Science and Google Scholar databases for relevant articles published from 2009 to February 2019.Keywords

Background: The aim of the present study is to assess salivary Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) levels in pregnant and non-pregnant women with gingivitis before and after scaling.
Materials and Method: Fifteen subjects (Non-pregnant) were selected out of the patients who attended the Department of Periodontics, Sree Balaji Dental College, Pallikaranai, Chennai. Fifteen subjects (Pregnant second trimester) were selected out of the patients who attended Velachery K.S Hospital, Chennai. Periodontal examination is done and again evaluated after scaling (30 days). Collection of saliva and assessment of TBARS is done. Assessment of TBARS is done by TBARS assay using thiobarbituric acid as a reagent. Statistical analysis done using student T test.
Results: Results indicated that the level of salivary TBARS in non-pregnant individuals after scaling is reduced and is statistically significant and the level of salivary TBARS in pregnant individuals after scaling also reduced but it is not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Gingivitis in pregnancy is not a contributing factor for the oxidative stress.
