Triphala extract negates arecoline-induced senescence in oral mucosal epithelial cells in vitro

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Triphala extract helped to reduce the pathological effects of arecoline-induced pathogenesis.Clinical relevance.Arecoline found in the areca nut causes oral pathological conditions including oral submucous fibrosis. Our results showed that Triphala counteracted the adverse effects of arecoline, in particular, negating senescence in oral mucosal epithelial cells. As a translational effect, Triphala treatment could restore normal epithelial thickness in oral submucous fibrosis, thus reducing the clinical severity of the disease. This reestablishment of oral homeostasis would help to improve oral health-related quality of life in patients with oral submucous fibrosis.
