Abstract
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp) has been used as a spice for millennia, offering nutritional, aromatic, and pharmaceutical properties. The essential oil from cinnamon bark predominantly contains cinnamaldehyde, which exhibits applications as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing agent. These characteristics have drawn the interest of the pharmaceutical industry, seeking to identify alternative uses of this compound for the treatment of oral diseases. In light of this, the present study aims to conduct a literature review, justifying the potential presented by cinnamon essential oil, specifically cinnamaldehyde, for the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals intended for dental use.
