Abstract The integration of herbal medicine into dental and endodontic practice has gained considerable momentum in recent years, driven by the growing demand for biocompatible, effective, and natural alternatives to conventional chemical agents. This review explores the therapeutic potential of various plant-derived substances in endodontics, particularly their roles as root canal irrigants, intracanal medicaments, obturating materials, and pulp capping agents. Natural compounds such as propolis, baicalin, acemannan, aloe vera, Galla Chinensis extract, and others have demonstrated promising antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties. These agents offer potential advantages including reduced toxicity, enhanced healing, and lower incidence of resistance compared to synthetic medicaments. Specific focus is given to their mechanisms of action, biocompatibility, and clinical efficacy in managing endodontic infections, preserving pulp vitality, and promoting periapical healing. While preliminary studies are encouraging, further clinical research is essential to standardize their application and establish long-term outcomes. The incorporation of phytotherapeutic agents in endodontics represents a promising and sustainable shift towards holistic and patient-friendly dental care.
