Juglans regia, commonly known as the Walnut tree, is a type of a deciduous tree. The tree has many important parts, the seed, bark, husk, leaves, oil, shell of the fruit and the kernel. The plant has been used in its crude form since ages. The kernel holds nutritional value. The leaves contain an essential oil which is extracted and used. The husk contains steroids and vitamins amongst other useful compounds. The leaves are used topically as antipyretic, analgesic, antidandruff and to heal burns. The bark is tough and has been used for mechanical tooth cleaning due to its tough fibrous texture. It contains Juglone as its main and most important constituent. Juglone works as an anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous agent. In dentistry it poses as an effective anti-plaque, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-cariogenic and tooth whitening material. It was concluded that in recent years, scientists and researchers have shown increasing interest towards the in depth understanding of the chemicals and compounds of the bark and its utilization in dental products towards improving dental treatment.

Prior to conducting therapeutic trials on people, it is critical to do experimental studies on animal models to determine the origin and pathophysiology of the illness process Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to outline the ethical issues involved in the need of animal studies in dentistry. Methods: This research was conducted using latest Prisma guidelines 2020. Data retrieved for this study was searched on PubMed, google scholar, and Cochrane libraries. Results: Safe and valid experimentation is the key for successful research. In health sector, the precision, accuracy, and validation of the experiment is very critical. It has been a common practice in health sector, that medicine and other surgical research is tested and validated on non-human primates. Once these tests on non-human subjects are replicated and validated multiple times, then the trials on human volunteers are initiated. However, over the years, researchers and different groups have raised serious questions about the abuse of animal studies. Moreover, the technology has progressed quite rapidly. Conclusions: The contemporary world is currently dealing with artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality. The dentistry is also strong pillar of health services and is not alien to these issues. The outcome of this review is to explore the possibilities of using technology as an alternative to animal in dentistry
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
