Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study is to comparatively evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy of Arimedadi oil and 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate mouthwash as an adjuvant to scaling in chronic gingivitis. Materials and methods: A total of 45 subjects were randomly divided into three groups, that is, group I (scaling alone), group II [scaling + adjunctive use of 0.2% CHX antiseptic drug delivery system (ADS) mouthwash], and group III (scaling + adjunctive use of Arimedadi oil) over a period of 21 days. Plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were measured at baseline, 14th day, and 21st day, and the number of aerobic colony-forming units (CFU) was evaluated at baseline and 21st day. Results: There was a statistically significant reduction of GI (p-value of 0.00), PI (p-value of 0.00), and number of CFU (p-value of 0.04) in groups II and III over a period of 21 days. However, on intergroup comparison, the reduction of PI was greater in group II on the 14th day (p-value of 0.042), whereas group III was as effective as group II in the reduction of PI, GI, and number of CFU on the 21st day (p-value of 0.00). Conclusion: Arimedadi oil is as effective as CHX in preventing plaque formation and gingival inflammation, as well as reducing the number of aerobic CFUs. Clinical significance: The preventive and therapeutic advantages of polyherbal products such as Arimedadi oil are a reliable and potentially secure substitute for CHX mouthwash.
