description Among the various medicaments used for pulp treatment, natural materials have gained attention due to their potent antibacterial activity and fewer complications compared to standard chemical agents. This study aims to analyze the existing literature on the effectiveness of herbal medicines in comparison to conventional pulp therapy agents in primary teeth. A comprehensive search was conducted across three databases—PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus— and google scholar to identify relevant studies. Only articles that met the predefined inclusion criteria were selected for review. A total of 33 clinical trials were included in this review, evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcomes of herbal pulp therapy agents in primary teeth. Among the natural substances investigated, propolis and aloe vera appear to be suitable candidates for pulp capping. Additionally, garlic extract and green tea show promise as effective cleaning agents within the root canal.
