Comparative Effectiveness of Miswak and Toothbrushing on Dental Plaque and Gingivitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background/objectives: The miswak, crafted from the tree, is a traditional teeth-cleaning twig that has served as a natural substitute for toothbrushes and toothpaste across diverse regions for centuries. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of miswak and a conventional toothbrush in reducing dental plaque and gingivitis over a two-week period.

Methods: This two-week randomized, single-blind (clinical investigator), two-parallel-arm clinical trial was conducted at Princess Nourah University College of Dentistry (PNUCD).
