Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of triphala mouthwash and its combination with 0.2% chlorhexidine against salivary Streptococcus mutans of orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 54 patients under fixed orthodontic therapy were included in this randomized clinical trial and divided into three groups of 18 each. The groups were requested to use one of three mouthwashes two times a day for 10 days: chlorhexidine 0.2%, triphala 25%, and the combination of chlorhexidine and triphala (1:1). Saliva samples were collected at baseline (day 0) and after 10 days. Ultimately, the samples were diluted and cultured. After incubation, the formed colonies were counted and the CFU/mL was calculated. The results were analyzed statistically with one-way analysis of variance and t test. Results: All mouthwashes decreased the bacterial count from baseline to the end of 10 days (P < 0.05). Although triphala had the least antimicrobial effect, no significant difference was observed between the chlorhexidine and the combined mouthwash group (P = 0.251). Conclusion: It was concluded that the combination of chlorhexidine and triphala reduces the side effects of chlorhexidine while presenting an acceptable antibacterial efficacy.
期刊介绍:
It is a journal aimed for research, scientific facts and details covering all specialties of dentistry with a good determination for exploring and sharing the knowledge in the medical and dental fraternity. The scope is therefore huge covering almost all streams of dentistry - starting from original studies, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, very unique case reports. Our journal appreciates research articles pertaining with advancement of dentistry. Journal scope is not limited to these subjects and is more wider covering all specialities of dentistry follows: Preventive and Community Dentistry (Dental Public Health) Endodontics Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (also called Oral Surgery) Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics Periodontology (also called Periodontics) Pediatric Dentistry (also called Pedodontics) Prosthodontics (also called Prosthetic Dentistry) Oral Medicine Special Needs Dentistry (also called Special Care Dentistry) Oral Biology Forensic Odontology Geriatric Dentistry or Geriodontics Implantology Laser and Aesthetic Dentistry.
