“…11 Disturbing plaque accumulation is of major importance, thus periodontal nonsurgical and surgical therapy aims at reducing or eliminating supra and subgingival plaque and establishing conditions which will allow effective self-performed plaque control. 12 Majority of the population may not perform mechanical plaque removal sufficiently or they may lack the dexterity, skill and motivation for mechanical plaque removal. Thus, antimicrobial mouthrinses that augment daily home care may provide an effective means of removing or controlling bacterial plaque to limit gingivitis and periodontitis.…”

Introduction: Dental plaque has been proved by extensive research to be a paramount factor in initiation and progression of gingival and periodontal diseases. Among chemical means, chlorhexidine mouthwash is regarded as the gold standard in dentistry in prevention of dental plaque. Chlorhexidine mouthwash, though effective, has certain side effects, such as brown discoloration of teeth, oral mucosal erosion, etc. Hence, there is need of an alternative medicine enmeshed within precious traditional Indian herbal therapy which is efficient, safe, and economical. Turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties along with hepatoprotective, immune stimulant, antiseptic, antimutagenic properties, etc. Objectives: This study was conducted to explore and prove the clinical efficacy of 0.1% turmeric mouthwash in mild and moderate gingivitis patients. Materials and methods: Sixty patients with moderate gingivitis were included and divided into two equal groups: Experimental (0.1% turmeric mouthwash) and control group (0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate). The clinical parameters evaluation was done on day 0 and day 21. Results: On intragroup comparison, statistically significant reduction in clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, gingival bleeding index) was seen in both groups on day 21, but on intergroup comparison, no statistically significant reduction in clinical parameters was seen on day 21 between the groups. Conclusion: Hence, it can be concluded that 0.1% turmeric mouthwash possesses antiplaque and anti-inflammatory properties which has been proven through clinical evaluation and it was almost equally effective when compared with 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash in moderate gingivitis patients.

“…Ogundipe et al (1998) asserted that plant products still remain the principal source of pharrmaceutical drugs and agents used in traditional medicine.The effects of plant extracts on bacteria have been studied by a large number of researchers in different parts of the world (Ateb and Erdourul, 2003). Jagadish et al (2009) reported that plants are natural sources of pesticides that contribute to new pesticide development. The use of herbal preparations in the treatment of diarrhea is a common practice in many African countries including Nigeria, because western pharrmaceuticals are beyond the financial reach of the people (Sadiq et al, 2009).…”

Primary screening of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Anacardium occidentale (bark and leaf) for antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas auroginosa, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus showed that ethanolic extract was more effective than aqueous extract. The minimum inhibitory concentration ranged from 0.05 g/ml to 0.2 g/ml .The ethanolic extract was found to be bactericidal to all the test bacteria, while the aqueous extract was found to be bacteriostatic to the test bacteria with the exception of the aqueous leaf extract that was bactericidal to Salmonella typhi. The greater the concentration of the extract, the higher the antibacterial activities exerted on the isolates. Salmonella typhi was the most sucesceptible organism to the leaf extract, while Pseudomonas auroginosa was the least sucesceptible organism. Staphphylococcus aureus was the most sucescephple to the ethanolic bark extract and Escherichia coli was the least suceptible organism.

Triphala is an important rasayana drug, used since time immemorial and described in the Ayurveda as a "tridoshic rasayana" (Charka 1500 BC), having balancing and rejuvenating effects on the three constitutional elements that govern human life (vata, pitta, and kapha). The synergy of the three "fruits" (Amalaki-Phyllanthus emblica, Bibhitaki-Terminalia belerica, and Haritaki-Terminalia chebula) produces the tonifying, detoxifying, mildly antiseptic, rejuvenative and laxative effects of this classic formulation. Such a wide array of actions of triphala is supposed to be because of the 47 tannins and 35 phytochemicals which have been so far isolated from it. In Ayurveda, Triphala holds a paramount position as, naturally; many illnesses require first to be treated with purificatory therapy. In recent times, Triphala is being widely studied and researched in the dental arena for its anti-caries, antioxidant, anti-collagenase, and anti-microbial activities. This review on Triphala throws an inclusive limelight on the properties of Triphala and its numerous applications in dentistry.
