Ancient Indian medicine has touted turmeric as an herb with the ability to provide glow and lustre to the skin as well as vigour and vitality to the entire body. Since curcumin has antimicrobial, antioxidant, astringents and other useful properties, it is quite useful in dentistry also.

The objective of this article is to review the pharmacological action of turmeric and its use in treating oral submucous fibrosis.
