The present study has evaluated the chemical composition and antimicrobial potential of the Copaifera reticulata oleoresin (CRO) against the causative agents of tooth decay and periodontitis and has assessed the CRO cytotoxic potential. Copaifera reticulata is the commonest tree of this genus and grows abundantly in several Brazilian states, such as Pará, Amazonas, and Ceará. Oleoresins from different copaifera species display antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.
Oral infections such as periodontitis and tooth decay are the most common diseases of humankind.
