Aims And Objectives: To determine and compare the effect of chlorhexidine gluconate, and garlic extract mouthwash on salivary count and the oral hygiene status.
Materials And Methods: Sixty children aged 9 to 12 years were randomly allocated into the study groups of triphala mouthwash, chlorhexidine mouthwash, garlic extracts mouth-wash, and distilled water mouthwash. Examination included decayed, missing, and filled teeth (dmft)/decayed, missing, filled surface (dmfs) and DMFT/DMFS, plaque index, and S. count on days 1, 15, and 30.
Results: The results were statistically analyzed using Friedman test, Wilcoxon signed rank, repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey's honestly significant different (HSD), Kruskal-Wallis test, and Mann-Whitney test; all calculations were done by MEDCALC software 14.0.0 version.
Discussion: count had significant reductions using different mouthwashes at 15 days, but the chlorhexidine group showed significant difference from the remaining three groups. Intergroup comparison for plaque index scores of chlorhexidine, and garlic groups was similar in preventing plaque build-up during the 15 days of mouthwash use.
Conclusion: All the three mouthwashes containing triphala, chlorhexidine gluconate, and garlic were comparably efficient in reducing the salivary S. count as well as in limiting plaque score; however, chlorhexidine was the most effective in this aspect. In comparison of the two natural ingredients, Triphala is more effective in its antimicrobial effect. Padiyar B, Marwah N, Gupta S, Padiyar N.

Allium tuncelianum (TG), an endemic garlic species from Tunceli, Turkey, was investigated using a multidisciplinary approach combining experimental and computational methods. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with B3LYP/def2-SVP/def2-TZVP basis sets were employed to analyze electronic properties, reactivity, and stability under gas and ethanol conditions. Headspace/GC-MS identified 10 major components, with diallyl disulfide (48.

In this study, a total of 13 hazardous multi-elements have been simultaneously determined in 24 edibles using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). As per the ICHQ3D document, the detected elements belong to Class 1 (As, Cd, and Pb), Class 2A (Co, V, and Ni), Class 2B (TI, Pd, Se, and Ag), and Class 3 (Ba, Cu, and Cr). The impact of various microwave-assisted acid extraction (MW-AAE) methods (A, B, and C) on multielement from edibles and sensitivity detection was comparatively studied.
