Background: To evaluate flexural strength of glass ionomer cement modified with phytomedicine. Materials & Methods: A total of 40 samples were enrolled. Ethyl alcohol was used to extract leaves from Salvadora persica, and Olea europaea using a Soxhlet extractor for a duration of 12 hours. To evaluate the flexural strength, a three-point bending test was conducted after 24 hours using a universal material testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Results: Dunn's test was conducted as a post hoc comparison, revealing that group 2:1 exhibited the highest median flexural strength (M = 27.2 MPa), followed by group 1:1 with a median of 20.1 MPa. Conclusion: The addition of the plant extract at higher concentrations resulted in an improvement in flexural strength
