Evaluation of the Stability, pH, Density and Sedimentation of Green Tea and Green Tea Plus Ginger Mouthwash: A Phytochemical Study

Abstract

Introduction: Dental plaque is the chief pathologic agent for the commencement of gingivitis. Diseased gingiva if left untreated may result in a compromised periodontium. The progression of gingival diseases can be controlled by regular plaque control. The sole use of mechanical aids in controlling plaque does not always suffice. Using chemical plaque control aids along with the conventional mechanical methods have shown better efficiency in elimination of plaque. Hence a need for adjunctive chemical plaque control is advisable for complete removal. Various new chemical formulations have been tried and tested.
