ABSTRACT:
Aims and objectives: To determine and compare the effect of Triphala, Tulsi extract and chlorhexidine gluconate in gingivitis. Materials and Methods: This study is a double blind randomized clinical trial of 60 individuals were randomly allocated into the study groups of triphala, tulsi mouthwash, chlorhexidine mouthwash. Results: Our result showed that ocimum sanctum mouth rinse is equally in reducing plaque and gingivitis as chlorhexidine. The results demonstrated a significant reduction in gingival bleeding and plaque indices in Group 1and Group 2 over a period of 15 and 30 days as compared to chlorhexidine group. Conclusion: Although chlorhexidine group proved to be the best effective anti-plaque agent and anti-gingivitis agent, it was found that triphala and tulsi prove to be an effective mouth washes by reducing plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation.
