The effects of eight herbs of Guchi Gao on periodontal tissue cells were investigated. The results show that Herba Dendrobii , Radix Ophiopogonis , and two other herbs can significantly promote attachment of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and periodontal ligament cells (PDL) and enhance the proliferation of the latter. This may account for the effect of Guchi Gao and suggests a potential treatment for periodontitis in the future.
