Abstract

Aloe vera stimulates cellular proliferation and has antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and healing activity, among other properties. With the aim of describing the usage of products prepared with this plant in the treatment of the chronic inflammatory periodontal disease, a review of updated bibliography related with the theme was carried out. The articles were found through the automatic search in SciELO, PubMed and EBSCO databases, from January to April 2017. There were chosen 32 items, written in Spanish and English, published in the period 2006-2017. It was stated with the search that the biological activity of the gel bioactive components are useful to relate the Aloe vera therapeutic effect in the periodontal disease.
