Abstract :
To compare the antiplaque and antigingivitis efficacy of 1.25% holy basil mouthwash to
0.2% chlorhexidine. 30 systemically healthy subjects
where divided in three groups by randomization and
were asked to refrain from maintaining mechanical
measures for oral oral hygiene for 5 days and used one
of the randomly assigned mouthwash (Group I - 0.2%
chlorhexidine, Group II - 1.25% holy basil, Group III -
sterile water.) Plaque index (PI) and Gingival index (GI)
was assessed at day 0 and 5. Inter group comparison of
all the parameters at baseline and 5 day using ANOVA
revealed statistically significant result outcome. The
results indicated that the 1.25% holy basil mouthwash
has an anti-plaque effect. Hence, the prophylactic
benefits of this anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis
mouthwash could be beneficial in clinical settings.
