Abstract: TITLE OF THE INVENTION Peanut Skin Extract-Based Intracanal Medicament with Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Antiglycation Properties for Endodontic Applications ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION applications, antioxidant, canal system. The and The i The present invention relates to a novel intracanal medicament comprising peanut skin extract enriched with polyphenolic compounds for endodontic formulation exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial, , antibiofilm, antiglycation activities, enabling effective disinfection of the root bioactive constituents facilitate penetration into dentinal tubules and target resistant endodontic pathogens, thereby improving treatment outcomes. The composition may be formulated as a gel, paste, solution, or nanoparticle-based delivery system to enhance stability, bioavailability, and sustained release of active compounds. The antiglycation property inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end-products, reducing oxidative stress and promoting periapical tissue healing. The invention provides a biocompatible and cost-effective alternative to conventional synthetic intracanal medicaments, overcoming limitations such as cytotoxicity, inadequate biofilm disruption, and limited duration of action. Additionally, the use of peanut skin, an agricultural by- product, supports sustainability and value-added utilization in dental therapeutics.
