Full 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
