    [abstract] => Self-medication in dentistry is an emerging practice wherein individuals diagnose, select, and administer oral health remedies without professional guidance. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of self-medication in dentistry, focusing on its types, benefits, risks, influencing factors, and the role of dental professionals. The article explores the different types of self-medication commonly observed in dentistry, including over-the-counter products, alternative therapies, natural home remedies, and the use of nutraceuticals. It also highlights emerging trends such as online information and e-commerce, mobile health applications, and the influence of social media on self-medication practices in dentistry. The benefits of self-medication in dental care, such as accessibility, convenience, immediate symptom relief, and cost-effectiveness, are discussed. However, the potential risks and limitations, such as delayed diagnosis and treatment, misdiagnosis, masking underlying issues, adverse reactions, and overreliance on self-medication, are also addressed. The article explores the influencing factors behind self-medication in dentistry, including cultural beliefs, healthcare accessibility, and patient knowledge. It emphasizes the role of dental professionals in guiding and educating patients about self-medication practices, and highlights strategies for promoting safe and effective self-medication.
