“…The mean of final ulcer size decreased with time in both of the studied groups, with the least ulcer size recorded in the myrrh oil Group on the 7 th day of healing intervals in comparison with the control Group. This may be the result of myrrh oil's antibacterial properties, which minimize the time required for wound contraction and eliminate postoperative bleeding [8] and this is in agreement with previous investigations [13][14][15].…”

“…In an extraction wound study, Rania Eid found improved wound healing one week postoperatively with a myrrh mouthwash and 90% of participants showed reduced socket opening with a myrrh mouthwash compared to 40% of participants in the control group. A significant decrease in inflammatory signs was found in the myrrh group compared to the control group [ 25 ]. In our study, improvements in wound healing were seen with both the myrrh and CHX mouthwashes.…”

“…The researcher found a significant improvement in gingival bleeding in subjects who used myrrhcontaining toothpaste compared to controls suggesting that myrrhcontaining toothpastes may be helpful as part of the treatment of patients with gingival lesions [7]. In a recent randomized controlled clinical trial, C. Myrrha was tasted in the form of a mouth rinse to evaluate its clinical effects following tooth extractions [8]. 40 subjects were randomized to two equal groups.…”
