Brief summary
the aim of the clinical trial is to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the herbal mouth rinses against chlorhexidine mouth rinse.
Detailed description
The present study was carried out on 84 children. Children were recruited based on certain inclusion criteria after signing a written informed consent by their parents. They were divided into 4 groups. Group (I) the children rinsed with Chlorhexidine mouth rinse, the child rinsed for 1 minute and plaque samples were collected from the child before and after rinsing. Group (II) children rinsed with green tea extract, while group (III) children rinsed with garlic with lime extract and group (IV) the children rinsed with pomegranate extract mouth rinse with the same procedures. .child satisfaction was measured using 5-point pictorial likert scale which is graded from 1 to 5 (1.Excellent.2.Good.3 Average 4.Poor. 5. Very poor). All the plaque samples were collected and put in sterile test tubes containing thioglycolate as a transport media. They transferred to the microbiology laboratory within half an hour after rinsing for detection of bacterial counts. These samples were incubated 48-96 hours at 37°C. Number of bacterial colonies were counted by hand-held digital colony counter.
