Design:
In this triple-blind, randomized controlled trial, 100 patients undergoing
orthodontic treatment were offered scaling and polishing at baseline to get
zero plaque score. In the first phase, they were given oral hygiene education
and provided a standard tooth paste to be used twice daily for a period of
three weeks. In the second phase, following scaling and polishing, they were
randomly allocated to use one of the four mouthwashes (A= Chlorhexidine, B=
Cetylpyridinium, C= Extracts of
Salvadora persica
miswak and D= Extracts of
Azadirachta indica
miswak), along with previously instructed tooth brushing
protocol for a further period of three weeks. Plaque accumulation was scored
according to modified bonded bracket Plaque Index: at the start, after tooth
brush-paste trial and at the end of mouthwash trial. Comparison of mean
difference of post-plaque index between and within groups was performed by
one-way multivariate analysis of variance MANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test.
Results:
A total of 80 participants completed the study; among them, 17 were
males and 63 were females. There was a significant decrease in mean plaque
scores after using mouthwashes in all the four groups at follow-up when
compared to first plaque score (p=0.001). The greatest reduction (of plaque
score) was found in Group C (
Salvadora persica
) when compared with the CHX
group (p=0.016). The other comparisons were not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
Compared to other mouthwashes,
Salvadora Persica
miswak
based mouthwash showed maximum reduction in the plaque scores among
orthodontic patients.
