Abstract

A new and alternative way to reduce anxiety levels in dental clinics is the use of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy uses plant materials and aromatic plant oils, including essential oils and other aroma compounds for improving psychological or physical well-being. Number of studies has been done to prove the therapeutic properties of various essential oils, but very few have been published on their use in dentistry.  This review is a continuation of previous article which will provide an overview of remaining essential oils, including their therapeutic properties and applications in dentistry.
