Triphala, Pilu, Nagavalli are one of these with antimicrobial action that minimizes plaque formation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare the effects of Herbal mouthwash with Chlorhexidine in chronic generalized periodontitis. Materials And Methods: Thirty patients with chronic generalised periodontitis of age group 35-55 were recruited for the study and randomly divided into three groups, group A – scaling and root planing and prescribed to use Chlorhexidine mouthwash, group B - patients treated with scaling and root planing group C – scaling and root planing and prescribed to use Herbal mouthwash. Patients were monitored for a period of 45 days. Plaque, Gingival and Periodontal Indices were recorded at Baseline,7th,30th and 45th day and the observations were statistically analysed. Results: One way ANOVA and General Linear model statistical analysis was done.There was a significant difference in Plaque and Gingival indices. Plaque and Gingival index for herbal mouth wash tend to decreae with increase in time periods. No significant decrease in Periodontal index for all time periods by the type of mouth wash. Conclusion: This preliminary study proofs that Herbal mouthwashes are as effective as chlorhexdine in plaque inhibition and reduction of gingival inflammation.
