Abstract
Background & Objectives: Main aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-plaque and anti-inflammatory effect of commercially available two herbal dentifrices that is Colgate herbal and Patanjali dantkanti. Method and material: This was a cross-over study.34 participants were selected and were randomly assigned to the group A [patanjali dantkanti followed by colgate herbal] (n=17) and group B [colgate herbal followed by patanjali dantkanti] (n=17). After phase 1 therapy, allocated toothpaste was given to the participants. Clinical parameter like plaque score, gingival inflammation score and approximal plaque score were measured at baseline and after 15 days. After 1 week washout period again this parameter were recorded and then after 15 days. Result: In group A plaque score was significantly reduced from 1.30±0.16 to 0.53±0.19, gingival inflammation score reduced from 1.37±0.20 to 0.57±0.17 and approximal plaque score reduced from 0.83±0.12 to 0.36±0.12. In group B plaque score was significantly reduced from 1.33±0.21 to 0.57±0.26, gingival inflammation score reduced from 1.34±0.25 to 0.59±0.24 and approximal plaque score reduced from 0.77±0.16 to 0.35±0.09. It was seen that the inter-group differences in terms of plaque score (p=0.908), gingival inflammation score (p=0.448) and approximal plaque score (p=0.147). Conclusion: Both the herbal toothpaste showed significant reduction in terms of plaque score, gingival inflammation score and approximal plaque score but when intergroup analysis was performed significant difference among both the groups was not seen.
