Abstract: Periodontitis is one of the most popular diseases in oral cavity. Many researches have indicated that excess reactive oxygen species that resulted in oxidative stress might have a close relationship with periodontitis. Antioxidants can decrease the level of oxidative stress by effectively suppressing reactive oxygen species generation, thereby suggesting their potential usefulness for the treatment of periodontitis. In order to provide a reference for further investigation, the production of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress, the pathological mechanism of periodontitis, and the application of antioxidants in periodontitis were reviewed in this article.

Key words: Reactive oxygen species, Oxidative stress, Antioxidant, Periodontitis
