Abstract

THIS STUDY was designed to investigate the effect of pomegranate mouthwash incomparison to 0.2% chlorohexidine in control of gingivitis. The study was carried out on a total 60 patients. The selected patients were clinically examined and randomly divided into three groups of 20 subjects each. Group A: (control group) included patients with moderate gingivitis, Group B: included patients treated with 0.2% chlorhexidine mouth rinse with and Group C: included patients treated with Pomegranate Extract mouth rinse. Salivary pH, gingival and plague indices were recorded for three groups. The results of this study reported an increase in the level of salivary pH in group B and C compared to group A and in group c compared to group B. A significant decrease in the gingival index in group C compared to group B was observed. However, there was non-significant difference in plaque index score between both group B and C. According to this study, it could be concluded that Pomegranate Herbal mouthwash could be used effectively in control of gingivitis as an alternative to 0.2% chlorhexidine with less side effects.
