Abstract: Background—chlorhexidine (CHX) is most commonly used as a chemical plaque control agent. Nevertheless, its adverse effects, including teeth discoloration, taste alteration and calculus build-up, limit its use and divert us to medicinal herbs. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the phytochemical composition, antioxidant potential, and cytotoxic effects of Mimusops elengi Linn extract (ME) over normal human cultured adult gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Methods—in vitro phytochemical screening, total flavonoi… Show more

“…Among the most widely used is chlorhexidine. It is considered the "gold standard" due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against different oral pathogens such as S. mutans, S. oralis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. fermentum, or Candida albicans [38,39]. However, side effects have limited its applications.…”

“…Further, the present study observed that statistical significance was found to exist between willingness to treat HIV patients and age groups respondents younger than 30 were likely to treat HIV infected patients, this may be because of the fact that they had received more formal training related to HIV than other dentists [16]. There is a significant difference between males and females in awareness and knowledge with females showing an increase in positive attitude and knowledge towards HIV than males [17] [18]. Dental treatment most of the time includes direct contact with the patients' blood and saliva, because of that dentists and dental students can also be exposed to pathogenic viruses like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) [19].…”

“…A recent study revealed a significant positive correlation between cytokines and a highly negative correlation between vitamin D levels and salivary cytokine levels. There is evidence that the host's inflammatory response facilitates tissue destruction and variability of host responses that cause variability in clinical manifestations of periodontal diseases, ultimately resulting in teeth loss [ 28 , 29 ]. Therefore, managing such conditions possessing potent anti-inflammatory properties, many chemical plaque control agents have been used to treat the same, including cetylpyridinium chloride, chlorhexidine, and amine fluorides.…”
