Abstract :
The goal of this study was to examine the
efficacy of different mouthwashes (alcohol and nonalcohol based) in reducing oral malodour in moderate
gingivitis patients.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Forty patients with
moderate gingivitis were randomly assigned to one of
four groups: group 1 (Peridex-alcohol based), group 2
(hiora-non alchohol based), group 3 (orofresh-non
alchohol based), and group 4 (orofresh-non alchohol
based) (control group). After 15 days and 30 days,
clinical measures such as the Oral hygiene index –
simplified (OHI-S- Green and Vermellion), Plaque index
(PI- Sillness and Loe), Modified sulcular bleeding index
(MSBI-Mombelli et al), and Organoleptic score were
evaluated. At baseline and after 30 days, microbiologic
examination by colony counting was performed.
RESULTS: The one-way Anova test was used for
statistical analysis, followed by the Post Hoc Tukey
test..The results revealed no differences in the OHI, PI
and MSBI in the four groups at baseline while after 15
days and 30 days evaluation there was significant
reduction in group 1and 2 however there was an increase
in values with group 3. Comparison of halitosis in
different groups at base line, 15 days and 30 days were
done by chi square test. Results revealed a significant
difference between all groups with reduction of halitosis
at 30 days of evaluation. Microbial analysis by colony
counting revealed significant reduction in early
colonizers with predominant reduction of
Porphyromonasgingivalis in group I at 30 days
evaluation.
CONCLUSION: Herbal mouth rinses can be used as a
supplement to periodontal therapy, however more
research into the therapeutic effects of herbal mouth
rinses in reducing periodontal infection and
inflammation in a broad population is needed.
