AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two herbal mouthwashes (Triphala and another herbal mouthwash) against Chlorhexidine in treating gingivitis.
- In a controlled trial involving 60 patients, clinical parameters like plaque index and gingival index were measured over 30 days after using the assigned mouthwash treatments.
- Results showed Triphala mouthwash significantly reduced gingival and bleeding indices, performing similarly to Chlorhexidine, while both lacked significant differences in plaque reduction; Triphala also had fewer side effects.
Article Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of two herbal mouthwashes in comparison with Chlorhexidine mouthwash on gingivitis.
Materials And Methods: This is a triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial, where in 60 patients were randomly allocated into three study groups: Triphala mouthwash (Group A), mouthwash (Group B), and Chlorhexidine mouthwash (Group C). All groups were treated with scaling and asked to rinse with respective mouthwashes twice daily for 1 month. Clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and bleeding index (BI) were recorded at baseline, 15 days, and 30 days, respectively.
Results: Our results suggested that Triphala group effectively demonstrated a higher reduction in GI and BI index scores compared to group ( ≤ 0.005) and the effect is equivocal to the reduction seen with Chlorhexidine group. However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the mouthwashes in reduction of PI scores ( > 0.005).
Conclusion: The results of our study evidenced Triphala to be superior in the reduction of plaque, gingival inflammation, and bleeding compared to that of . However, the results of our study also indicated that Triphala was as effective as chlorhexidine mouthwash in its ability in reducing plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, and bleeding. Furthermore, Triphala is relatively free of side effects compared to that of chlorhexidine.

Background: Propolis mouthwash (PROP-M) has demonstrated antibacterial properties like those of chlorhexidine mouthwash (CHX-M). However, its impact on the abundance of oral nitrite-producing species (NPS) and nitrite-producing activity (NPA) remains unexplored.
Methods: Forty-five healthy individuals were randomised into 2 groups to rinse their mouth twice a day for seven days with either CHX-M ( = 21) or PROP-M ( = 24).
