Abstract

Background

Phytotherapy is characterized by the use of medicinal plants in their different dosage forms. Currently, the use of this alternative medicine has increased. The raw material of herbal medicines consists of organs from medicinal plants (leaves, stems, fruits, peels, flowers and roots) with pharmacological, food, technical or cosmetic adjuvant effects. In addition, the side effects of its use appear to be reduced compared to synthetic and conventional medication.

Objective

The aim of this mini-review is to present the scientific evidence involving the properties of the pomegranate fruit for future antimicrobial applications in dentistry.

Methods

Literature searches included randomized clinical trials and studies [2000-2023] filtered mainly by the following terms [ L.], [Pomegranate], [Dentistry], [Antimicrobial activity] and [].

Results

Studies have shown that Linn. has considerable antimicrobial activity, in addition to other pharmacological effects such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action. The use of herbal medicines, as potent antimicrobial agents against oral pathogens, has been widely reported.

Conclusion

The use of has proven its effectiveness, as a potent antimicrobial agent against oral pathogens, especially against the fungus , future studies need to focus on the development of a biocompatible formulation directed to the treatment of patients with oral candidiasis.
