The herb Cymbopogon citratus, which is popularly known as lemongrass, is a member of the Poaceae grass family. A wide range of health benefits are provided by lemongrass. Its antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities are well established in literature, thus making it applicable in medical and dental fields. The antioxidant defense function of the lemongrass herb guards against antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and aids in preserving good cellular function, cholesterol levels, the neurological system, healthy skin, and the immune system. In addition, lemongrass aids in the oral cavity by eradicating bacteria from the mouth and preventing decay, gingivitis and periodontitis. The aim of this review article is to highlight various uses of lemongrass oil in dentistry.
