Indigenous health

Indigenous health research is defined as any health-related research conducted by or with Indigenous communities, incorporating their wisdom, cultures, and knowledge systems. This research encompasses physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions, and emphasizes respectful engagement and equitable opportunities. It honors the culture, language, history, and traditions of Indigenous peoples and aims to create culturally safe research environments that promote trust and respect


Natural resources in dentistry

Natural resources in dentistry involve the use of naturally occurring compounds and materials in dental treatments and practices. This includes the utilization of plant extracts, probiotics, and other natural substances known for their therapeutic properties. These natural compounds are often incorporated into dental care products like mouth rinses, toothpastes, and local delivery systems to leverage their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic effects. The interest in natural resources in dentistry is growing due to their potential to provide effective, safer, and more sustainable alternatives to conventional pharmaceuticals
