Abstract

Homoeopathy was founded more than 200 years ago by German physician, scientist Dr. Samuel. F. Hahemann. The Homoepathic medicines play major role in dentistry. Homoepathic medicines are safe, nontoxic and non-addictive and produces no known side effects or interactions with conventional medicines. Homoepathy may be used effectively in the place of drugs prescribed which sometimes have unpleasant side effects.
