Volume 218 Issue 11, 12 June 2015

PLANTS IN DENTISTRY SERIES: ALOE VERA

The cover images in volume 218 all feature botanical illustrations of plants and trees with a connection to dentistry – some from the past and a selection still used in present times. In the last cover of this series, we feature Aloe vera. Aloe vera is a short-stemmed plant with succulent leaves that retain and store water. The colourless gel contained within the leaves is claimed to have therapeutic properties, and this gel has been used for centuries in herbal remedies and food. In dentistry, it is employed to reduce gingival inflammation, and for antiseptic and anti-viral purposes.
