| Plaque Index: This refers to the presence or absence of plaque on the 6 surfaces of the teeth, which is measured on all teeth present in the patient's mouth. Timepoint: 14 days after using mouthwash. Method of measurement: The plaque index (DPI) is calculated using the O'Leary index (this index is useful for assessing the plaque control performance of patients and is relatively easy, reproducible and inexpensive to determine). For this purpose, the patient's mouth is first rinsed with plain water and the surfaces of his teeth are stained using a dye that is revealed to detect dental plaque. In the next step, the discoloration of the different surfaces of each tooth is examined. For this purpose, each stained surface will be examined for the accumulation of plaque-revealing tablets at the tooth-gingival junction and the stained areas will be recorded with a red mark on the form. Finally, the number of discolored surfaces is divided by the number of teeth multiplied by six (or the total number of stained surfaces) and expressed as a percentage.;Gingival index :The gingival index (GI) is defined as a tool used to assess the severity of gingival inflammation based on the thickness and accumulation of plaque and debris, which helps evaluate patient adherence to oral hygiene practices. Timepoint: 14 days after using mouthwash. Method of measurement: The gingival index is recorded by the examiner using a Williams probe. The Löe & Silness method is used to assess the gingival index. The gingiva of each tooth is divided into four sections: mesiobuccal, distobuccal, midbuccal, and midlingual. Each section is scored from 0 to 3. If the gingiva appears normal and is not bleeding, a score of 0 is assigned; if there is little inflammation and no bleeding on probing, a score of 1; if there is moderate inflammation and bleeding on probing, a score of 2; and if there is severe inflammation and spontaneous bleeding, a score of 3. To obtain the gingival index of each tooth, the averag | — |
