Background: Dental calculus is one of the major problems in dentistry, which is characterized by calcified mass that forms on and adheres to the surface of teeth resulting in bad breath, receding gums and chronically inflamed gingiva. It can be correlated with Dantasharkara (dental calculus), which is characterized by the collection of hardened accumulation of Mala (tartar) at the junction of teeth and gums. Ultrasonic scalars are used for the removal of dental calculus for convenience. In texts, Laksha Churna (powder of Laccifer lacca Kerr) has been mentioned as Vranaropaka (wound healing) and indicated for the eliminating plaque through cleaning and polishing tooth surfaces. Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of local application of Laksha Churna and Madhu (honey) Pratisarana after Dantasharkara Nirharana (scaling of dental calculus) in the management of Dantasharkara (dental calculus). Materials and methods: Patients having calculus deposition, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected. In group A, Pratisarana with Laksha Churna (powder) 1 g and Madhu as per requirement was given, whereas in group B, chlor-hexidine gluconate 0.2% for gargling was given for 2 weeks. Ultrasonic scaling was done in both groups before given trial drugs. The outcomes were calculated on the base on changes in score of the subjective parameters like pain, inflammation of gum, bleeding gums, halitosis as well as objective parameters like oral hygiene index, debris index, calculus index, gingival index, and periodontal index. For analysing the effect of the result, Wilcoxon signed-rank test for nonparametric paired data and paired t -test for quantitative parametric paired data was applied. Results: After analysing the data, it was found that Ultrasonic scaling of dental calculus followed by Pratisaraņa of honey with Laksha Churna provided statistically significant improvement in calculus index (97.77%) in debris index (84.44%), in oral hygiene index(96.66%), in gingival index (83.33%)and showed 96.15% improvement in periodontal index, whereas Ultrasonic scaling of dental calculus followed by gargling with chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% provided 80% improvement in calculus index, 70% in debris index, 90% in oral hygiene index, in gingival index by 73.06%, and 93.75% improvement periodontal index which was statistically significant. Conclusion: The present study indicates Dantasharkara Nirharana followed by Pratis...

“…Besides Dashana Samskara Choorna has broad therapeutic implications from an Ayurvedic perspective almost in every dental disease. [20] DISCUSSION ▪ Gandusha and Kavala: Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in the mouth for a certain period, typically using sesame oil or coconut oil. This practice is believed to help reduce bacteria in the mouth, improve gum health, and prevent cavities.…”

Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine that originated in India, offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, including oral care. In the context of diabetes, maintaining oral health is crucial because individuals with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing dental issues such as gum disease and infections. Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of doshas i.e. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, proper diet, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall well-being, including oral health. Regular dental check-ups, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, and following the guidance of Ayurvedic principles are essential components of oral care for individuals with diabetes cases. Exploring the integration of Ayurveda into the oral care of diabetes cases involves considering the holistic principles of Ayurveda, the role of specific practices like oil pulling and herbal components, and the practical application of these principles in conjunction with conventional care. It's a fascinating intersection of traditional wisdom and modern healthcare, and ongoing research can shed more light on the efficacy and nuances of Ayurvedic approaches in managing oral health in individuals with diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is present in almost every country around the world. Diabetics are known to suffer more from gingivitis/periodontitis than the general population. The projected increase in the diabetic population will only lead to an increase in oral diseases, such as gingivitis in this population. This study evaluates an Ayurvedic toothpaste for the control of gingivitis in a diabetic population. In vitro and in vivo evaluations were performed on this Ayurvedic toothpaste. The in vitro study used a well known anaerobic biofilm model. In the in vivo clinical studies, diabetic subjects were evaluated for plaque and gingivitis using classical methods. The subjects were also evaluated using traditional Ayurvedic endpoints, namely (gum bleeding), (inflammation), and (sponginess of gums).The results of these evaluations demonstrate that the Ayurvedic toothpaste has antibacterial efficacy against anaerobic bacteria. Its use by diabetic subjects resulted in a reduction in plaque and gingival indices in two separate studies lasting up to 6 months. In addition, there was an improvement in the Ayurvedic endpoints in these clinical studies as well. This study demonstrates that an Ayurvedic toothpaste has a positive oral health benefit in diabetic subjects who suffer from gingivitis.The research reported within demonstrates that this Ayurvedic toothpaste has a positive oral health benefit in diabetic subjects who suffer from gingivitis. It has also shown effectiveness against anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for periodontal infections.
