Punica granatum Linné known as pomegranate is rich in bioactive compounds with interesting properties for the treatment of various health conditions. The components of interest of Punica granatum L. are polyphenols for the control of different species of microorganisms. Given the wide application in Dentistry, it is important to know the current development of dental formulations containing Punica granatum. One way to analyze the targeting of these products is through the search for patents. The objective of this work was to carry out a technological prospection of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) products for dental purposes. A search was carried out based on patent applications filed in the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and World Intellectual Property Organization bases (WIPO) and a search for scientific publications using the keywords and Boolean connectors of interest. The obtained results were transferred to the Microsoft Office Excel® 365 software, directed to data analysis and graph construction. A total of 23 patents were found, divided into 4 patent banks, 5 of which were registered with the WIPO, 7 with the USPTO, 5 with the INPI and 7 with the CIPO. It Was concluded that the majority of patents filed for pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) based products, with dental foundations in the main work banks, emerged from research carried out by companies, and most formulations were of toothpastes for the inhibition off biofilm deposited in the United States followed by Brazil, It appears that Punica granatum Linné presents itself as a promising source for the treatment and prevention of oral conditions.
