ABSTRACT
Limonene is the main component of citrus essential oils, and can reach a concentration of up to 96%. Popularly known for its potential therapeutic effects on the body, among these we point out its broad antimicrobial activity against various types of pathogens. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to address the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of limonene compared to microorganisms of interest in dentistry, based on a bibliometric study and literature review. The following databases were analyzed PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO and Science Direct, from which ten articles published between 2011-2021 were selected. Most of results indicate a satisfactory antimicrobial potential, besides providing important data and perspectives regarding the indication and clinical use, in addition to innovative therapeutic modalities for diseases that affect the oral cavity, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and candidosis.
RESUMEN
El limoneno es el componente principal de los aceites esenciales cítricos, y puede alcanzar una concentración de hasta el 96%. Popularmente conocido por sus potenciales efectos terapéuticos en el organismo, entre ellos se destacan su amplia actividad antimicrobiana frente a diversos tipos de patógenos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue abordar las propiedades antimicrobianas y antifúngicas del limoneno en comparación con microorganismos de interés en la odontología, a partir de un estudio bibliométrico y una revisión bibliográfica. Se analizaron las siguientes bases de datos PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO y Science Direct, de las cuales se seleccionaron diez artículos publicados entre 2011-2021. La mayoría de los resultados indican un potencial antimicrobiano satisfactorio, además de proporcionar datos y perspectivas importantes con respecto a la indicación y el uso clínico, así como modalidades terapéuticas innovadoras para enfermedades que afectan la cavidad oral, como caries, enfermedad periodontal y candidosis.
