“…Rosemary ( Rosmarinus officinalis ) has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, whereas ginger ( Zingiber officinale ) can reduce prostaglandin biosynthesis and has antibacterial properties against certain periodontal pathogens . The effect of these preparations on gingivitis, plaque, and bleeding on probing indices for all of these polyherbal products appears comparable with chlorhexidine products, and superior to a negative control such as saline …”

There is increasing public interest in natural or herbal‐based healthcare products. This trend is not only visible in supermarkets and dental practices, but also in the scientific world. An improving number of clinical trials are being conducted to validate the claims made about these products in regards to periodontal health. Among single component preparations, Aloe vera and green tea are the most studied natural ingredients. Concerning polyherbal mixtures, triphala has garnered great interest. The effects of these natural products on periodontal health is encouraging, with almost all studies showing an inhibitory effect on plaque accumulation and an improvement in gingival health. However, more studies are needed to be able to design clinical guidelines to guide the use of these natural products in periodontal practice. For most of these products, few studies are available and, moreover, the available studies are limited in duration, the number of participants, and the specific composition of the natural product is often not described in detail.

Medicinal plants have been widely used in the management of infectious diseases and by now, many of the ancient remedies have proven their value through scientific methodologies. Although the mechanisms underlying most plant-derived remedies are not well understood, the success of herbal medicine in curing infectious diseases shows that many plants have beneficial effects in various bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic infections. The modern methodologies in the isolation, purification and characterization of the active compounds, has been a great impact for advancing in vitro and in vivo research, this step being crucial for further application in clinical trials. Many plant-derived compounds, for example, quinine and artemisinin, have been already successfully used in healing lifethreatening infectious disease. The main limitations of plant medicine healing are lack of standardization and reproducibility of plant-derived products. Despite the paucity of clinical trials evaluating their efficacy, phytotherapy, adult plant uses and gemmotherapy, the use of embryonic stem cells should be reconsidered as valuable resources in finding new active compounds with sustained antimicrobial activity.

“…3 Among them, the most commonly used is chlorhexidine (CHX) which is known to be the most potent chemotherapeutic agent against S. mutans and the most effective antiplaque agent. 4,5 But the long-term use of CHX possess few adverse effects which have restricted its usage in pediatric age group and necessitated the search for alternatives. 6,7 An effective and safe alternative to CHX mouthwash is herbal products which have lesser side effects, cheaper, and locally available.…”

Aim:To evaluate the antibacterial effect of herbal water, ozonated water, and chlorhexidine mouthrinses on salivary Streptococcus mutans level and to assess their effectiveness of these mouthrinses on the oral health status of children. Materials and methods: A parallel multiarm randomized controlled trial was conducted in 100 children aged 10-12 years. Debris index-simplified (DI-S), calculus index-simplified (CI-S), oral hygiene index-simplified (OHI-S) scores, and Streptococcus mutans counts were recorded at baseline (T 1 ). They were randomly divided into four equal groups (n = 25): HW, herbal water; OW, ozonated water; W, water; and CHX, chlorhexidine. Intervention period was 15 days and data collection was repeated after 15 days (T 2 ) and 30 days (T 3 ). Saliva samples were used to evaluate S. mutans count. Results were tabulated and analyzed statistically. Results: OW had minimum DI-S score at T 2 and T 3 periods. HW had the minimum CI-S score at T 2 and T 3 periods. CHX had the minimum S. mutans count at T 2 and T 3 periods. OW showed maximum reduction in OHI-S score at T 2 period. HW showed maximum reduction in OHI-S score at T 3 period. Conclusion: Herbal water and ozone water can be used as an alternative to chlorhexidine in maintaining the oral health status. Clinical significance: Herbal water and ozonated water can be used in children instead of chemical mouthrinses to avoid any adverse effects.
