Periodontal treatments involve cuts and bleeding of the gingival mucosa; Morinda citrifolia, specifically on the fragments in charge of healing (platelets), has a more significant effect on the healing processes of the lesions. Objective. To identify the healing potential of hydroalcoholic extracts of Morinda citrifolia (Peruvian noni) in the regenerative processes of periodontal incisions at 70% at various concentrations (1%; 5; and 10%) and its accelerating coadjuvant effect in the oral route as tissue healing. Materials and Methods. An applied research was carried out under an experimental design. For this purpose, a previous study was carried out for pharmacognostic analysis, moisture percentage, solubility tests and qualitative phytochemical analysis to ensure that the pharmacological analysis and experimental test were properly completed. Doses were administered to five male Holtzman albino rats divided into four groups to which the concentrations were applied in 0.5 ml amounts twice daily to the incision, which was evaluated for seven days for specific parameters, such as infection, gingival skin tone, wound closure, incision size reduction and percentage healing. Results. They indicated that all groups that were given the 70% hydroalcoholic extract in various concentrations improved their healing activity by reducing the size of the gingival incision on the seventh day, where it turned out that the best concentration was 5% compared to the other concentrations (1% and 10%). Conclusion. Research indicating the efficacy of Peruvian Morinda citrifolia as an accelerator of the healing process in periodontal therapy.
