Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a composition for prevention or treatment of oral diseases including ginseng extract,

The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating oral diseases, and more particularly, to a composition capable of effectively preventing or treating oral diseases by activating saliva secretion in the oral cavity.

In oral health, the salivary mucin present in saliva plays a significant role. Specifically, salivary mucin is known to inhibit oral dryness, to protect the oral cavity against environmental stress, and to inhibit pathogen attachment to teeth by binding to oral lubricity and pathogens. Therefore, those who are less likely to develop salivary mucin, which is responsible for oral health, are more likely to be exposed to oral diseases.

Oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and bad breath are fundamentally caused by Streptococcus mutans mutans , Porphyromonas gingivalis , Prevotella intermedia, intermedia ), Actinobacillus ( Actinobacillus < RTI ID = 0.0 > actinomycetemcomitans ), and Candida albicans ( Candida It is known to be caused mainly by oral pathogens of Candida spp., including pathogenic microorganisms such as albicans .

Therefore, in order to treat oral diseases, studies on inhibiting or killing the growth of oral pathogens or studies on antimicrobial substances have been made. However, most of these antimicrobial substances remove not only harmful pathogens in the oral cavity but also beneficial bacteria in the mouth. Oral pathogens that are resistant to antimicrobial substances due to excessive use of antimicrobial substances or resistant to genetic mutations There is a limit to the prevention or treatment of oral diseases using only conventional antimicrobial substances. In the case of dry mouth, when the pill is administered for more than several weeks, dryness and atrophy of the oral mucosa are improved. However, this drug is a nonspecific muscarinic agonist, which can cause side effects such as sweating, nausea, dizziness, flushing, and lethargy by aggravating the parasympathetic nervous system, thus limiting the method of preventing or improving dry mouth.

Accordingly, the present invention aims at solving the above-mentioned problems and providing such a useful use of a component, that is, a component capable of effectively preventing or treating an oral disease through an action other than an antibacterial activity.
