Homeopathy is a dental specialty, a component of integrative and complementary practices, governed by the principle of similarity. Its practice is generally used in the control of diseases, being highly indicated in those that affect the elderly in a chronic way, such as Alzheimer's disease, which can cause xerostomia (dry mouth) in patients. The objective of this work was to carry out a literature review about homeopathy as a therapeutic option for dry mouth in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Homeopathy can act in an interdisciplinary way together with conventional treatment, not substituting one for the other, requiring a thorough anamnesis to collect symptoms, making it essential to include mental, general and local manifestations in the repertorization, individualizing it to the maximum, since the choice of the homeopathic medicine and the success of the treatment depends on the totality of the symptoms with their modalities. However, as there are not enough studies that relate homeopathy with the improvement of dry mouth in patients with Alzheimer's disease, more research is indicated to prove the effectiveness of the treatment
