“…3 Dental caries is multifactorial, with nutritional, salivary, and microbiological variables contributing. 2 In addition, treating dental caries that have already developed is so expensive that it may not be a viable option, especially for those with tight budgets. 4 As a result, preventive methods have been developed that specifically address these causative factors.…”

“…4 Antibacterial medications are the basis of therapy as bacteria are thought to cause caries, but these medications are expensive and have adverse side effects. 2 Namely, chlorhexidine use may have several unfavorable effects, including changed taste perception, tooth discoloration, and the emergence of bacteria with bacterial resistance, making it impossible to use it over an extended period. 4 Considering these challenges nowadays, scientists emphasize on the role of natural products more.…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Mangifera indica (mango) on dental caries. The entire plant, including the leaves, fruit, roots, and flowers, has various therapeutic characteristics used for centuries to cure various illnesses. This systematic review aimed to identify an inexpensive, simple, and effective method of preventing and controlling dental caries. The search was performed among the studies written in English, the database of abstracts concentrating on the effects of Mangifera indica (Mango) on dental caries detected in Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Central. In total, we find 37 articles. The relevant English language articles published up to August 2022 were collected, screened, and reviewed. Search words contained “Mangifera indica” and “dental caries” or “Streptococcus mutans” or “tooth demineralization.” For our systematic review analysis, we included 3 randomized controlled trial studies studying a total of 130 people, of whom 110 were children aged 8 to 14 and 20 were adults aged 20 to 25. These experiments all employed mouthwash containing an extract from Mangifera indica. In conclusion, it has been proven in 2 separate studies that saliva’s PH will increase significantly. In addition, a reduction of S. mutants has been observed in another research. Overall, it was concluded that mango extract mouthwash is highly effective in decreasing the bacteria that can cause dental caries. however, we firmly believe that conduction of more detailed in vivo studies regarding Mangifera indica implications in dental caries treatment is essentially needed for further confirmation.
