Melatonin, known as chemical of darkness is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland. Studies have shown that it has antioxidant, antiageing, immunomodulatory, antineoplastic properties. Because of these effects, it might be used therapeutically in dentistry for the potentially malignant disorders, lesions of mechanical, bacterial, fungal or viral origin. Thus, it is important for the dental clinicians to be familiar with the possible therapeutic uses of MLT in dentistry. The aim of the present article is to review on melatonin and its applications in dentistry.
