Aim: To compare of antibacterial efficacy of different herbal mouthwashes Background: Next to dentifrices, mouthwashes are one of the widely used modality to maintain oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine and Listerine are some of the commonly prescribed mouth rinses, but they come along with many disadvantages. To overcome this, in recent decade, the medical field has turned its attention towards indigenous techniques and medicines. Yet the efficacy needs to match the conventional products. Hence this trial was done to assess the anti bacterial efficacy of different commercially available mouth rinses. Materials and Method: Three different herbal mouthwashes were taken. Saline was taken as control. 1000 µL of Himalaya herbal mouthwash, K.P Namboodiri herbal mouthwash, Orafrsh mourthwash and saline was pipetted into three cuvettes each . Cuvette was then incubated for 1hour at 37 degree Celsius at microbiology department, saveetha dental college, Nutrient agar was prepared. 10µL of sample was pipetted out from one cuvette and poured into one nutrient agar plate. Metal loop was heated to red hot and sample was streaked using metal loop. Nutrient agar plates was then incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. Agar plates were taken out of the incubator and bacterial colony count was done. Results: The mean CFU/10 µL of streptococcus mutans in Himalaya herbals complete care mouthwash was 8 CFU/10µL. The mean CFU/10µL of streptococcus mutans in namboodiri's herbal mouthwash was 14.33 CFU/10µL. The mean CFU/10µL of streptococcus mutans in orafresh herbal mouthwash was 17.33CFU/10µL. Saline was compared as a control . The CFU/µL of streptococcus mutans in saline was 58. Conclusion :The Antibacterial efficacy of different herbal mouthwash shows that Himalaya and namboodiri's herbal mouthwash has significantly antibacterial efficacy against S.mutans. Further research should be made against different organism and different herbal mouthwash. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
