Abstract
Introduction: The National Policy of Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC), of the Ministry of Health, inserts the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicine in the Unified Health System (SUS) and was the recognized practice of herbal medicine by the dentist regulated in 2008. by the Federal Council of Dentistry. However, for dentistry, this therapeutic option is still little used.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to review and systematize data from the scientific literature on products of plant origin indicated for dentistry, contributing to promote their use by dentists.
Methodology: The Medline and BIREME indexing bases on the theme of phytotherapics in dentistry were searched. 230 articles were found and 15 were selected, based on the impact factor of the publications.
Conclusions: The difficulties of the use of Phytotherapy in the clinical routine are related to several aspects, such as the lack of qualification of professionals, difficulty of access to phytotherapeutic plants, cost, among others.
