Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To comparatively evaluate the dentifrice containing herbal agents and Triclosan/polymer containing PVM/MA in its ability to control Plaque and Gingival inflammation Materials and Methods: Subjects for the study were selected from the outpatient department of Periodontics from a Dental College, Navi Mumbai, India. 60 subjects with established dental plaque and gingivitis were randomly assigned to either Triclosan or Herbal dentifrice group in a randomized controlled crossover clinical trial. The plaque index , sulcus bleeding index and gingival index scores at baseline and 3 weeks were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using Paired t-test and Unpaired t-test. A p value of 0.05 was considered for statistical significance. Results: On intragroup comparison, there was a statistically significant reduction (p<0.001) in plaque index, sulcus bleeding index and gingival index scores in both groups at 3 weeks compared with the baseline. Intergroup comparison was statistically significant in favour of the Triclosan group as opposed to the Herbal group. No adverse events were reported and both the dentifrices were well-tolerated. Conclusion: Triclosan/polymer with PVM/MA containing dentifrice was more effective than the herbal based dentifrice in reducing plaque and gingival inflammation.
