There is vast research on the efficacy of Ayurveda in curing diseases. However need is felt regarding extensive studies on the usage of such historic natural products in oral health care and especially in endodontics.

There are variety of chemical based solutions available for the purpose of endodontic irrigation. Due to various safety concerns including oral and peri-radicular toxicity, there is the need for such solutions which can be used as their alternative. In recent years, there has been a profound increase in the literature and research regarding the use of herbal solutions as endodontic irrigants.
