Abstract

Calotropis gigantea is a medicinal herb that thrives in arid climates. All parts of this plantare rich in secondary metabolites, which are very beneficial for health. Phytochemicals ofthis plant include flavonoid, alkaloids, steroids, cardiac glycosides, and terpenoids, whichhave a wide range of pharmacological effects. The potential of metabolit compound fromC. gigantea can be used in dental treatment. This review describes the potential use of C.gigantea in ethno-dentistry, specifically as anti-caries, soft tissue inflammation(periodontitis and gingivitis), degenerative diseases (tumor/cancer), and wound healing.This review provides general perspectives and basic literature on the use of C. gigantea inthe field of etno-dentistry. Based on this paper, it can be seen that C. gigantea haspotential as a therapy in the field of ethnodentistry.
