Brief summary
Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus are the most common cariogenic microorganisms. Chlorhexidine has been the most widely used antibacterial mouthwash in dentistry. On the other hand, few studies have reported the antibacterial potential of Propolis and Ozonated olive oil as antibacterial agents that can be used as alternatives to Chlorhexidine. This study aims to evaluate and compare the antibacterial effect of Ozonated olive oil, Propolis, and Chlorhexidine on S. mutans and L. acidophilus count in pediatric patients.
Interventions
OTHEROzonated olive oil
Ozonated olive oil mouthwash will be prepared by Smart Ozone Marvel using by company's ozone. Children will be instructed to use 10 ml of mouthwash for 1 minute twice daily after 1 hour after tooth brushing
OTHERPropolis
Propolis mouthwash will be prepared by using 2% raw propolis, 40 ml flavouring and 0.1 gm coloring agents, 150 ml propylene glycol, and 60 gm sorbitol. Children will be instructed to use 10 ml of mouthwash for 1 minute twice daily after 1 hour after tooth brushing
OTHERChlorhexidine
The patients were given 0.12% Chlorhexidine. Children will be instructed to use 10 ml of mouthwash for 1 minute twice daily after 1 hour after tooth brushing

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in microbial count | Baseline and after 14 days of treatment | Total bacterial count before and after the intervention was detected. plaque samples were dispersed by vortexing for 30 seconds then 10 fold serially diluted using sterile saline. |
| Change in plaque accumulation | Baseline and after 14 days of treatment | The plaque accumulation was scored for each tooth on its four surfaces.The number of positively scored surfaces is divided by the total number of tooth surfaces evaluated and the result is multiplied by 100 to express the index as a percentage |
