description | Statins are the first line of treatment for hyperlipidaemia. Along with lowering lipids, it also lowers mortality and cardiovascular risk. Statins play a major role in maintaining the homeostasis of the oral cavity via a number of different mechanisms. It includes regeneration of dentin and pulp by differentiation and increased development of mineralized tissue via the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)-2 Pathway. It shows effective bone health by leading to osteogenic differentiation mesenchymal stem cells, by facilitating epithelization process in wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and fungicidal properties. To the finest of the information we have, there have been very few comprehensive studies that have investigated the effects of statin drugs on various aspects of dental and oral health. As a result, the main objective of this review was to examine the effect of statins on oral health applications. According to the findings of our extensive review, statins have noteworthy and promising effects on several aspects of oral health, including dental pulp cells, chronic periodontitis, alveolar bone loss, orthodontic tooth movement, and so on. Nevertheless, it is concluded that local or even systemic administration of simvastatin should be regarded as an innovative, easily accessible, and safe therapeutic agent that has a significant impact on enhancing the oral health. |
