Herbal endodontics is an emerging field that integrates traditional herbal remedies with modern endodontic practices to enhance the treatment of dental pulp and periradicular diseases. The shift towards herbal endodontic is driven by the growing demand for biocompatible, eco-friendly, and cost- effective alternatives to synthetic chemicals, along with antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, aligning with holistic and integrative dental care trends. These products used in endodontics have several advantages, including safety, ease of use, increase storability, low cost, and a lack of microbial tolerance. The use of medicinal plants in endodontics includes cleaning and disinfection of root canals, intracanal medicaments between appointments, sealer cements, and for removal of obturation material. Research continues to explore the efficacy and safety of these herbal agents, promising advancements in sustainable dental therapies.
