We investigate medium modifications of the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ in dense medium, taking into account different parities of the exotic $\Theta^+$ baryon. We find that the chemical potential of the $\Theta^+$ is shifted in a density-dependent way to one-loop order. We also investigated the effect of the scaled nucleon mass in dense medium on the $\Theta^+$ propagator. The results turn out to depend sensitively on the scaled nucleon mass and on the parity of the $\Theta^+$.
