Objective: Dental plaque, a flexible white or yellow-gray substance, significantly contributes to periodontal diseases. This study aims to present medicinal plants used in traditional Iranian medicine for controlling and treating dental plaque.
Methods: In this review study, keywords such as medicinal plant, traditional medicine, and dental plaque were utilized to search SID, Google Scholar, Megaran, PubMed, and Scopus databases. The article abstracts were reviewed, irrelevant studies excluded, and relevant ones selected for analysis.
Results:  The findings revealed that medicinal plants like coconut, aloe vera, clove, orange, rosemary, black tea, mango, chebulic myrobalan, miswak, turmeric, barberry, licorice, pomegranate, and black mulberry are essential in traditional Iranian medicine for managing dental plaque.
Conclusion:  The medicinal plants identified in this study have been suggested that by antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities effectively combat dental plaques.
