Introduction
Free RadicalsThey are chemical species with a single unpaired electron in an outer orbital.
Being extremely unstable, they readily react with inorganic and organic chemicals.When generated in cells, they avidly attack nucleic acids, proteins and lipids.Molecules that react with free radicals are themselves converted into other types offree radicals, thus propagating the chain of damage.
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)They are a type of oxygen derived free radical whose role in cell injury is wellestablished:
Redox reactions during respiration + Phagocytic leukocytes in inflammation = ROS
Reactive oxygen species cause cell injury by three main reactions:i. Lipid peroxidation of membranes
ii. Cross-linking of proteinsiii. DNA damage
Cell InjuryCell injury in many circumstances involves damage by free radicals:
Ischemia-reperfusion, chemical and radiation injury Toxicity from oxygen and other gases Cellular aging Microbial killing by phagocytic cells Tissue injury caused by inflammatory cells

Generation of Free radicalsThe production of free radicals is increased in:
i. Absorption of radiant energyii. Enzymatic metabolism of exogenous chemicals
iii. Inflammation
Removal of Free RadicalsFree radicals are inherently unstable and decay spontaneously. Cells have many
non-enzymatic and enzymatic systems that contribute to inactivation of free radicals:i. Superoxide dismutases (SODs)
ii. Glutathione (GSH) peroxidasesiii. Catalaseiv. Endogenous or exogenous antioxidants
Oxidative StressA persistent imbalance between the production of highly reactive molecular
species (e.g. reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS) andantioxidant defenses.
Damage caused by such free radicals is determined by their rates of production andremoval. The summary of the processes involved in development of this oxidativestress is outlined below:
1. Production of ROS increases
2. Scavenging systems are ineffective3. Excess of free radicals4. Oxidative Stress

Anti-Oxidants
The Rise of AntioxidantsAny substance that when present at low concentrations compared to those of anoxidizable substrate, significantly delays or prevents oxidation of that substrate
Action of Antioxidants
Antioxidant Systems
a) Primary Prevents formation of new radical species
E.g. SOD, GPX, Metal binding proteins
b) Secondary Traps free radicals
E.g. Vitamin E & C, Beta carotene, Uric acid
c) Tertiary Repair biomolecules damaged by free radicals
E.g. DNA repair enzyme, Methionine sulfoxide reductase

Classification
Common Antioxidants
Rationale for Dietary AntioxidantAn inverse relationship between the low dietary and serum levels of
antioxidants and probability of development of cancer at various sites (includinghead and neck). High consumption of antioxidants was associated with decreasedrisk of head & neck squamous cell carcinomas among smokers, drinkers and thosewith both smoking and drinking habits.
Beta carotene
Sources: Dark green, orange or yellow vegetables and fruits (spinach, carrots,orange, squash, papaya, mangoes and cantaloupes)Mechanism: Scavenging effect (traps peroxyl free radicals in tissue at low partialpressure of oxygen)Location: PlasmaClinical Significance: Deficiency can lead to periodontal destruction

PhytochemicalsThey are non-nutrient compounds that have biological activity inside the
human body. They provide colors, taste, and aromas to the fruits and vegetables.They can mimic hormones and suppress the development of diseases.E.g. Phenolic compounds such as flavonoids
They are said to have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic, anti-viral, anti-aging, and anti-carcinogenic activity, and also exert protection against heart disease.

Antioxidants in Oral Lesions
Indications1. Prevention of lesions in high-risk individuals with mucosa that clinically
appears normal with no history of either premalignant or malignant lesion2. Treatment of premalignant oral lesions3. To prevent recurrence of the treated initial lesion or to prevent the
development of a second or a separate primary
Guidelines for PrescribingThe following points should be considered strongly by the dental practitioners
before considering antioxidant therapy:
a) Has oxidative damage been implicated in the disease pathophysiology?b) Is the oxidative activity a central pathophysiological feature of the disease?c) Where is the oxidative damage occurring?

Prevention of CancerAnti-oxidants play a major role in the later stages of cancer development.
DNA damage, one of the important contributors to cancer, is oxidative in nature.Hence, anti-oxidants can cause the regression of premalignant lesions or inhibit their
development into cancer.
Some antioxidants act through mechanisms other than their antioxidantproperties. Carotenoids, for instance, can enhance immune function and increase gap
junctional communication.
In general, high intake of fruits and vegetables are associated with aprotective effect against cancer.
Controversial AreasIn spite of all the obvious advantages, there is a lack of predictability of
antioxidant therapy and it has not been validated by the scientific method. Highdoses of Vitamin A may have embryotoxic and teratogenic effects. Large doses ofascorbic acid may be associated with the inhibition of ovarian steroidogenesis andincreased probability of abortion.
Mixture of AntioxidantsIndividual antioxidants produce varying degrees of tumor regression only at
very high doses, posing a high risk of toxicity. At lower doses, however, they may be
ineffective or even stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Hence, use of singlevitamins in cancer treatment has no biological or clinical merit.
Lower doses of individual vitamins 13-cis-retinoic acid, sodium ascorbate, d-a-tocopheryl succinate, and polar carotenoids without any b-carotene as part of amixture can be used.

Conclusion
Antioxidants could be beneficial in people with innate or acquired highbaseline levels of reactive oxygen species but can be harmful in people with lower
innate levels. Although there has been promising results overall benefit: risk ratioshould be considered.
Currently few studies are available to extrapolate the therapeutic effects ofantioxidants in dental practice. A substantial gap still exists in our knowledge ofbioavailability, biotransformation and mechanism of action of antioxidants.
Large scale and unbiased studies addressing the safety and standardizationissue of antioxidants in dentistry are required.
