“…Compliance was evaluated in only few studies. [ 14 15 21 ] Although in these studies, the usage of dentifrices was supervised by evaluating the returned tubes, there was no mention about any outcomes related compliance. In a study by Chawla,[ 26 ] by monitoring at certain time intervals, the principal investigator randomly controlled the compliance.…”

Objective:The aim of this study was to review literature on the effects of herbal dentifrice compared to conventional dentifrice on plaque and gingival inflammation.Materials and Methods:MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and major journals were explored for studies up to September 30, 2017. A comprehensive search was designed and the articles were independently screened for eligibility by two reviewers. Randomized controlled clinical trials, in which oral prophylaxis was undertaken before the intervention was introduced into the oral cavity using toothbrush were included. Where appropriate, a meta-analysis (MA) was performed and standardized mean differences (SMDs) were calculated.Results:Ten articles out of 1378 titles were found to meet the eligibility criteria. A MA showed that for plaque intervention the SMD was 2.14; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88–3.41, P = 0.0009; test for heterogeneity: P < 0.00001, I2 = 96% in favor of conventional dentifrice; and for gingival inflammation, the SMD was 1.37; 95% CI: 0.49–2.26, P = 0.002; test for heterogeneity: P < 0.00001, I2 = 94% which also was in favor of conventional dentifrice. Subgroup analysis for plaque intervention and gingival inflammation in case of long-term (more than 4 weeks and up to 6 months) and short-term effects (minimum of 4 weeks) of herbal dentifrice showed no difference when compared to conventional dentifrice.Conclusion:Currently, there is no high-quality evidence to support or abnegate the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects of the herbal dentifrice.

“…Clinical studies related to the removal of plaque and remission of gingivitis had been accepted as support for the definite relationship between plaque and gingivitis and for the belief that it is a significant factor in the maintenance of gingival health. 4 Dental plaque is composed of complex microorganisms in an organized manner, found in both the hard and soft tissue structures of the oral cavity. Dental plaque is one among the many causative factors for dental caries, gingivitis, and periodontitis.…”

“…The adverse effects of non-herbal toothpaste are that it can contribute to ulcerations and lesions in the oral mucosa, perioral dermatitis, and so on. 4 People interested toward herbal toothpaste have been increased recently. 7 The main ingredients of the herbal toothpaste include herbs with historically established medicinal uses such as myrrh, which helps to destroy the microorganisms contributing to the formation of plaque; chamomile and sage, which decrease inflammation and bleeding of the gums; and Echinacea, which stimulates the body's defense mechanism.…”

Background and aim: Dental plaque, a well-organized biofilm, is the established cause for gingivitis. Chronic gingivitis is the second most common disease of oral cavity which may progress to periodontitis. A mechanical plaque control method along with dentifrices is the most recommended method for plaque removal and controlling gingivitis. The aim of this review is to estimate and compare the effectiveness of herbal and non-herbal toothpastes in controlling plaque and gingivitis. Materials and methods: The primary focus of this study was to compare randomized control trials and clinical trials which used herbal toothpaste with non-herbal toothpaste in prevention of plaque and gingivitis. Clinical trials without randomization and other experimental studies were also included. The outcome measures were improvement in duration, objective and subjective difference in plaque accumulation, and gingivitis. Results: Randomized control trial and nonrandomized control trial has shown a remarkable reduction in plaque and gingival scores on an average duration of using herbal toothpaste. Studies (five randomized control trials and four clinical trials) state statistically equal reduction in plaque and gingival scores on using herbal and non-herbal toothpastes. No reports of adverse reactions (bad taste and odor, hard to accept, and allergic reactions) on using herbal toothpaste are evident. Conclusion: Nowadays, there is an increased interest on using herbal products among people. Herbal toothpastes are as effective as nonherbal toothpastes in controlling plaque and gingivitis. There are also no adverse reactions on using herbal toothpaste and can be used as an alternative to conventional (non-herbal) toothpaste. Henceforth, it depends upon the preference of people to choose natural (herbal) or conventional (non-herbal) toothpaste.

Introduction: Dental caries and periodontal diseases, the two arch criminals of oral cavity, are essentially caused by the microorganisms present in dental plaque. Aim and objectives: Evaluate the relative effectiveness of Chlorhexidine, Hiora, and T. chebula mouth rinses on plaque reduction. Materials and method: The present study was a randomized controlled crossover clinical trial. It was designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different mouth wash. Data obtained in relation to different assessing parameters at different phases of present study was subjected to statistical analysis using paired t-test. Results: Chlorhexidine was more effective in reducing dental plaque compare to other mouthwashes. Conclusion: Chlorhexidine shows better results compare to its herbal alternative but Hiora and Terminalia chebula mouthwash due to its natural ingredients has no reported side-effects and further studies with varied concentrations, different parameters and larger sample size are to be carried out to assess their efficacy of herbal mouthwash.
