Abstract: Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity is a common and clinically significant issue, that many clinicians come across. There is currently a variety of available treatments. Over the past years, the use of herbal products in the medical and dental field has increased. The aim of this systematic review was to assess if the use of herbal products is more effective than conventional products, which are currently being used, in the management of dentin hypersensitivity. Methods: A systematic electronic search was performed in MEDLINE-PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to December 2022. The quality of studies was assessed using the Risk of Bias tool version 2. Results: A total of 2325 publications were identified, and 10 studies fulfilled all the inclusion criteria. Only randomized controlled trials addressed the management of dentin hypersensitivity using herbal oral products, while fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this review, it was concluded that herbal products may not provide superior benefits reducing the symptoms of dentin hypersensitivity when compared with conventional products. Future studies, properly designed, are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of herbal products.
