Introduction: Oral mucosa is one of the body’s most sensitive tissues. Due to the prevalence of
oral ulcers and the effect of cancers on the oral mucosa, treating oral lesions is particularly important.
Matricaria chamomilla is widely used in traditional medicine. Chamomile compounds have
antibacterial، antiviral, anti-inflammatory and accelerate epithelialization. However no systematic
study has been undertaken on the application of chamomile in treating oral lesions. Therefore this
study aims to determine the medicinal use of chamomile in dentistry.
Materials and Methods: This systematic review searched major international electronic
databases, including PubMed, ISI and Scopus, from August 1998 to August 2021. The articles included
in this review were clinical trials in which the participants used chamomile as a mouthwash
or gel.
Results: In this study, the therapeutic effects of chamomile were evaluated in 14 clinical trial
studies. Most of the studies reviewed in the articles referred to the properties of flavonoid compounds
with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of chamomile.
Conclusion: Today, medicinal plants are used in treatment and one of the most common plants
used for medicinal purposes is chamomile. It is used in dentistry, and its positive effects on plaque,
gingivitis, caries, mucositis and its antibacterial effects have been reported.
Keywords: Chamomilla; Oral mucosa; Systematic review.
