PREVENTION OF DENTAL CALCULUS BY AYURVEDIC DENTISTRY 

Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Dental calculus can be compared to Danta sharkara, which is considered as one of the major cause for dental problems. Calculus formation results in a number of clinical manifestations, including bad breath, receding gums, gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth mobility and loss of tooth. Hence its removal is very essential to prevent periodontal diseases. Ultrasonic scalers are used widely now a day by the dentists. It is more efficient and convenient method. Many mouthwashes like Chlorhexidine are used prophylactically to control plaque after scaling. But when used continuously they cause certain adverse effects. Considering these drawbacks in modern dentistry, the present study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of local therapeutic procedure ie. Pratisarana and kavala, mentioned in our classics for control and prevention of calculus after scaling. A total of 40 patients having the features of supragingival calculus were selected for the study & were divided randomly into 2 groups as Group A and B consisting of 20 patients each. Group A was treated by Laksha choorna with Madhu pratisarana after removal of Danta sharkara by scaling followed by kavala with Tila taila for 3 months. Group B was treated by Ultrasonic Scaling followed by regular mouth wash with Chlorhexidine for 3 months. Thereafter follow up was done for 6 months. After treatment Group showed better response compared to Group B. During follow up period the rate of recurrence of calculus was seen more in Group B than in Group A.
