Detailed description
Herbal mouthwashes have been increasingly popular over time. Ethnomedicines are the term used to describe them. Various substances have been tested, with phytopharmacological analyses yielding contradictory results. Many previous studies had tested the antiplaque efficiency of one herbal mouthwash with contradicting results, other studies have tested the Antiplaque efficiency of chlorhexidine, tea tree oil and Miswak, some studies had given positive outcomes and benefits of Miswak on the gingiva and others when comparing between the efficacy of Miswak over chlorhexidine mouth wash in dental practice provided results favouring both these mouthwashes. In our proposed study we will compare the antiplaque efficiency of three herbal kinds of mouthwash, Miswak, tea tree oil and Resveratrol mouthwash. Plaque and gingival bleeding scores will be taken before the study from 6 different teeth and retaken after 2 weeks and four weeks respectively the use of the mouthwash. This study is single-blinded. Antiplaque and gingival bleeding scores from the three mouthwashes will be recorded over a period of a month and statistical analysis will be performed
Interventions
OTHERMouthwash Product
* In the Initial Visit-Baseline, and subsequent visits, participants will be called in the morning. Morning hours will be chosen for examination, as it will reduce the risk of bias and also help in quantifying results. plaque and gingival scores will be recorded and the First herbal mouthwashes will be given, participants will also be provided new tooth-brushes (Oral B-soft). * They will be asked to follow their routine oral hygiene habits. They will be asked to come back after 2 weeks for plaque and gingival bleeding scores recording for the second visit and again after 2weeks post the second visit for the third and final visit to record their plaque and gingival bleeding scores.
