Amla (one the pic) – also known as Indian gooseberry – and acerola (on the cover) – Barbados cherry – are two widespread fruits in Asian regions. Both of them have been used by natives in traditional medicine as a drug and preventative measure for thousands of years.

In modern times, scientists have rapidly researched these fruits and have already found that they contain a vast amount of vitamin C, plenty of phenolic compounds, and nutrients, which makes them quite effective in treating inflammatory diseases and infections.

Recently, a group of Indian researchers published a new paper related to the dental field. As it turned out, amla and acerola extracts' impressive antioxidant properties allow them to effectively inhibit the growth of some oral periodontal pathogens on dental plaque, such as Staphylococcus aureus.

Thus, alma extract shows an impressive 90% growth reduction and acerola about 80%, making it a promising target for further scientific research to implement these substances in some proven medical approaches for dental practice.
