“…Comparing their results with findings from a study by Yaghini et al, however, Aloe vera-green tea mouth rinses was found to have shown a similar reduction of the bleeding index compared to matrica and been as effective as the chlorhexidine mouthwash (23). Plaque-induced areas had been evaluated in only one study, and the mean plaque area in the Aloe vera mouthwash had been between the other two test rinses (31). One study had reported the effect of Aloe vera-green tea, matrica, and chlorhexidine on dental stain index.…”

“…Nonetheless, four papers had found that chlorhexidine had been more effective than Aloe vera in reducing plaque; however, the differences had been described as statistically insignificant (26,30). Two studies had shown that the effect of chlorhexidine on reducing the plaque index had been markedly higher than that of Aloe vera group (28,31). The Alnouri et al study had demonstrated that the decrease in plaque index in the Aloe vera group had been significantly greater than that in the chlorhexidine group (P = 0.00) (32).…”

Context: Mouth rinses have been recognized as the main adjuvant or primary treatment to address many issues relating to dentistry. Previous studies have investigated the anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial effects of Aloe vera. Recently, Aloe vera has been applied to treat several dental and oral conditions. Methods: Official web pages, such as Scopus, PubMed, and Microsoft were searched for collecting the required data using the keywords Aloe vera, Aloe vera mouthwash, Aloe vera mouth rinse, and dentistry. After checking the abstracts and titles, all relevant papers were retrieved for performing a full-text review. Results: Aloe vera was effective in reducing periodontal indices compared to chlorhexidine. It was also effective in treating oral diseases such as mucositis, postoperative pain, trismus, and dry socket incidence after the third molar extraction. Aloe vera decreased the number of colony-forming units during scaling and root planning (SRP). Conclusions: Aloe vera mouthwash was just as effective as other commercial mouthwashes in reducing the severity of radiation-induced mucositis, periodontal disease, the amount of S. mutans, the number of colony-forming units during SRP, and other situations which required a mouth rinse for the acceleration of treatment.
