Abstract
Aim : The aim of this study is to compare the antimicrobial efficiency of chlorhexidine and cacao bean husk extract mouth rinses in children. Material And Methods: This study comprise of 210 children aged 10-14 year old were examined. 50 children were selected by using simple random sampling for the study. Subjects were divided into two groups. Group-a subjected to 10 ml of 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) mouth rinse. Group-b subjected to 10 ml of 0.1% cacao bean extract (CBHE) mouth rinse. The samples were collected from the subjects on day one (pre-rinse, post rinse) and after 15 days. Data was statistically analysed to compare the efficacy of chlorhexidine and cacao bean husk mouth rinse. Results: Reductionin plaque and gingival index score in both groups was found to be statistically significant (p <0.01). However, the difference in reduction of plaque and gingival index score between the two groups was not statistically significant at any of the time intervals (p>0.05).
