Summary

Gingivitis is a very common oral disease that may progress to the more destructive periodontitis if not treated. As oral plaque is a key player in gingivitis, plaque control by professional scaling and oral hygiene measures represents the main line of treatment.

Among the oral hygiene measures, using chlorhexidine mouthwash is considered the gold standard in mouthwashes. However, due to its side effects, a safer and more acceptable mouthwash is needed. Therefore, this study proposes mouthwashes made of infusion of natural herbs as an alternative.
