Brief Summary:
Myrrh-based mouthwash has the potential to be a suitable alternative to the gold standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for dental plaque and gingivitis reduction. To date, however, little research has been carried out to determine its true clinical significance on periodontal health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 1% myrrh mouthwash with commercially available 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash in terms of plaque and gingivitis reduction and inflammatory mediator (interleukin-1β) inhibition.
Detailed Description:
This will be a single-center, triple-blinded, randomized, three-arm parallel, controlled trial in periodontally healthy adult volunteers (no clinical attachment loss and bleeding on probing \< 10%). We will include all eligible patients seeking dental treatment at the center after gaining a written informed consent. After the initial dental screening and a session of professional teeth cleaning procedures, participants will be instructed to refrain from regular oral hygiene practices for 2 weeks to develop experimental gingivitis. Participants will then be randomly allocated to one of the three treatment groups \[1:1:1\] using a simple randomization method (i.e. computer-generated random numbers). They will be instructed to continue refrain from regular oral hygiene practices and use 10 ml of the assigned mouthwash twice daily for 1 minute. Treatment effect will be evaluated by comparing the baseline (day 0) and post-intervention (day 14) values of all clinical parameters (modified gingival index, plaque index, proinflammatory interleukin-1β biomarker, and Gingival Bleeding Index).
