Abstract

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on the principle of ‘like cures like’, which has been used for over 200 years. The inclusion of homeopathic medicine in a dentist's therapeutic armory is particularly useful for a range of treatments, from relatively mild acute conditions to complex chronic pathologies. The present article provides an introduction to relevance of homeopathy in dentistry, finishing with short mention of its education in dental curriculum.
