allium sativum oil

Allium sativum oil, commonly known as garlic oil, is a botanical extract derived from the bulbs of *Allium sativum*. It contains various organosulfur compounds, such as allicin, diallyl sulfide, and diallyl disulfide, which contribute to its biological activities. In clinical dentistry, it is being investigated as a natural, cost-effective alternative to traditional medicaments like formocresol or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for non-vital pulpotomy in primary teeth, due to its potent antibacterial properties against oral pathogens like *Streptococcus mutans* and *Lactobacillus acidophilus*. Additionally, preclinical research suggests it may have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, potentially improving chronic inflammation in hyperlipidemic conditions by modulating T-cell activation and reducing proinflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IFN-γ via the NF-κB pathway.
