| Abstract: | Background: The main enemy for oral diseases is dental plaque. Numerous oral hygiene measures have been adapted to eliminate dental plaque, one among them will be the use of chlorhexidine mouthwash which is effective against wide array of micro-organism. But the major adverse effect of chlorhexidine mouthwash will be staining and alteration of taste. Inorder to overcome the adverse effect, various naturally occurring antimicrobial agents have been incorporated such as aqueous stevia mouthwash to prevent the formation of dental plaque. Aim: To compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingival effectiveness of Aqueous Stevia and chlorhexidine containing mouthwash. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 20 healthy individuals. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups: Group I(Experimental group-Stevia), GroupII (Controlled group - Chlorexidine). Before conducting the trial, the study design was explained to the qualifying participant and informed consent was obtained from the voluntary patients who were willing to participate in the study. Erythrosin disclosing solution was used to disclose the plaque. The plaque index and gingival index was recorded at baseline and 7th day. Wilcoxon signed Rank test used to compare the mean differences before and after treatment within each group for Plaque and Gingival index score. Results: A statistically significant reduction in mean Plaque and Gingival Index score was observed in both Group I and Group II at baseline and 7th day follow up. But there was no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups at 7th day of follow up. Conclusion: To conclude, there was a statistically significant reduction was observed in mean plaque index and gingival index score of Group I and Group II at 7th day of follow up. Hence, Stevia mouthwash can be used as an effective antimicrobial oral hygiene measure against plaque and gingival diseases. |
