Abstract AIM: The aim of this study is to compare & evaluate clinical efficacy of a herbal phytonutrients mouthrinse with Hedychium coronarium, Echinacea, Calendula-officinalis and Ocimum sanctum extracts in patients with gingivitis & chronic periodontitis in adjunct with scaling & root planning.
MATERIAL & METHODS: 30 subjects diagnosed with chronic periodontitis based on periodontal examination and microbiological evaluation, were selected from an Old Age Home.
The study population was randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 subjects each: Group I - Phytonutrient herbal mouthrinse, Group II - 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate and Group III – Distilled water.
RESULTS: ANOVA test showed significant difference in the mean values of FMPI, FMBI and PPD variables– PHT: (FMBI-P value- .005); (FMPI- P value- .002); (PPD- P value- <0.001), CHX: (FMBI-P value- .003); (FMPI- P value- .441); (PPD- P value- 0.049), DW: (FMBI-P value- .089); (FMPI- P value-.081); (PPD- P value- 0.104). There was statistically significant difference in the efficacy of PHT when compared with CHX and DW mouthrinse on plaque
accumulation, gingival health and oral hygiene status.
CONCLUSION: Herbal phytonutrient rich-mouthrinse can prove to be effective alternatives to CHX with minimal side effects.
Keywords PHT- phytonutrient mouthrinse, CHX- chlorhexidine-0.2% gluconate mouthrinse and DW- distilled water mouthrinse.
