“…( 24) 0.6% Triphala mouthwash is known to have considerable anticariogenic action, comparable to that of chlorhexidine but with least disadvantages and at a lesser cost. (23,25) Ann et al observed that deglyzirrhized G. glabra (Yashtimadhu) significantly inhibited S.Mutans biofilm formation at concentrations over 4 µg/ml for glucose and 16 µg/ml for sucrose, respectively. ( 15) Ethanolic extracts from roots of G glabra were shown to have antibacterial activity against S.Mutans with 0.195mg/ mL MIC and 3.12 mg/mL MBC.…”

Aim: The present study was done to assess the antibacterial efficacy of a polyherbal extract against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in-vitro. Materials and methods: In the current study, the ethanolic extracts of Haritaki, Bhibitak, Amalaki, Yashtimadhu, Haridra and Vacha were subjected to microbiological assay. The microbial growth inhibitory potential of the polyherbal extract was determined by using the agar disc diffusion method. Results: Mean zone of inhibition of polyherbal extract mix against S. mutans at 48 hours was 24mm. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration of polyherbal extract mix on S. mutans was 0.1gm/mL and 0.2gm mg/mL respectively. Conclusion: The polyherbal extract had antimicrobial efficacy against streptococcus mutans. This polyherbal extract could have potential clinical implications. Clinical significance: as many chemical agents used for prevention of dental caries might have long term adverse effects, use of plant based products could be an excellent treatment alternative. This polyherbal extract possesses antibacterial properties against streptococcus mutans and hence could be used for prevention of dental caries. The herbs used in the study are easily available, economically feasible and are being used since time immemorial.

Mukhapaka (Stomatitis) is a common ailment seen in general practice. The Pittaja Mukhapaka (Aphthous ulcer) is fully described in Ayurveda under the term Mukha rogas. Oral ulcers are estimated to impact 4% of the global population, with aphthous ulcers being the most frequent, affecting up to 25% of the global population. Psychological stress, hormonal impacts, dietary sensitivity, and nutritional insufficiency are the primary causes of Pittaja Mukhapaka (Aphthous ulcer). It is a painful and frequently recurring inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa that can develop as a result of several well-defined disease processes. As a result, Gandusha is described as one of the key therapies in the Ayurvedic system of medicine for both preventing and treating oral cavity illnesses. Triphala (tri means three and phala means fruits) is an Ayurvedic preparation made up of three equal parts of Indian subcontinent herbal fruits: Terminalia belerica, Phyllanthus emblica, and Terminalia chebula. Triphala includes powerful antioxidants as well as other bioactive substances such as flavonoids, saponins, anthraquinones, amino acids, fatty acids, and different carbohydrates. As a result, it promotes the maintenance and promotion of oral hygiene by exerting a cleansing activity and strengthening the defence mechanism in the oral cavity. An attempt is made in this regard to discuss the role of Triphala Kwatha Gandusha in Pittaja Mukhapaka.

“…This is due to the presence of tannic acid, which is its primary component [17]. In comparison to typical root canal irrigant, Triphala has the extra benefit of being an antioxidant and antiinflammatory agent, making it a good alternative with no adverse effects as that of NaOCl [22,23].…”
