Brief summary
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effects of Salvadora persica (miswak) oral rinse and commercial Listerein mouth wash on oral health of socially deprived madrasa girls. METHODS: Girls aged 18-22 years living permanently in a madrasa of Multan city will be recruited. Sample size and trial duration will be determined using the American Dental Association guidelines. Participants will be randomized into two interventional groups; A and B and will be either provided with Salvadora persica oral rinse and commercial Listerein mouth wash respectively. Pre, mid and post-intervention examinations will be executed by a blind and calibrated examiner using Turesky Quigley Hein Plaque and Loe and Silness Gingival indices. Statistical analysis will include descriptive statistics and two sample independent t-tests. The p-value of \<0.05 will be considered significant at 95 % confidence level.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| plaque and gingivitis scores | 6 months | Dental examination will be conducted at baseline, then after 3 and 6 months, that is, Pre-Interventional, Mid Intervention and Post-Interventional phases respectively. It will be executed on inclined chairs in day light using a sterilized dental mirror and CPITN (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Need) probe. This probe has a ball ended tip with a diameter of 0.5mm. This probe have two coloured bands of 2mm graduations each, one at 3.5 to 5.5mm and second at 8.5 to 11.5mm. These bands determine the bleeding on probing which correspond to respective gingival score as per Loe and Silness Gingival index (1962) |
