Abstract

Understanding the philosophy behind any health system is signicant because this determines the direction and the treatment methods. The term complementary dentistry (CD) is preferable and more consistent than "unconventional dentistry" because the CD meshes very well with conventional clinical practice. Dental practitioners should learn about the CD and be aware of evidence on the safety and effectiveness of treatments and routine procedures. These practices have been associated with religious beliefs and the spiritual domain, and the physical domain. Therefore, improved education in critical thinking, research, science, medicine, behaviour, communication, and patient management is required. This review aims to focus on the complementary approaches that can be helpful in dental practices. The article reviews various unconventional approaches based on advanced PubMed Central (PMC), Cochrane database, Wiley online search of the English language literature from the year 2000 to the present in order to help us select the most suitable approach among them fullling the desired criteria of being safe, economically viable, having a scope to be used for successful prognosis and possibly not requiring any special considerations to interpret the results.
