Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction in Dental plaque microorganism is observed in the experimental group.Logarithmic mean and standard deviation of control group with 102 dilutions of aerobic microbial count were found to be 5.34± 0.94 and for experimental group, it was 4.47± 1.37. Similarly logarithmic mean and standard deviation of control and experimental group with 102 dilutions of anaerobic microbial count were found to be 6.18 ± 0.66 and 5.64±1.008 respectively.Timepoint: 60 sec.
