is a tree that belongs to the salvadorecea family. It is also known as Miswak, which is a popular natural toothbrush that was used centuries ago in oral hygiene by Muslims in all parts of the world, especially in the Middle East. Numerous researchers highlighted the biological activity of this plant in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacology. The purpose of this article is to narratively review the biological properties of . In addition, it expresses variant applications of this herb in different dental specialties. . The search of the literature was based on PubMed, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar using keywords: , , Miswak, Dentistry, and Dental. All relevant articles were reviewed to check if they would fit within the scope of this review, and then, the information was extracted. . Multiple biological effects of have been reported including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and even antiulcer effects. Dental effects were discussed and presented. The wide biological range of 's effects is promising for dental and nondental fields and allows for an expanded clinical application that has otherwise not been discussed in the literature.
