“…In our study, no significant difference was observed in the overall mean plaque scores between the groups, which was similar to a study which also reported that disclosing agents did not play a critical role in improving plaque control [27]. However, studies by Stevens et al [10], and Ower et al [28] showed better plaque removal with the dye containing toothpaste. This could be attributed to the differences in the dye containing tooth pastes used, oral hygiene instructions provided prior to brushing and the indices used to record biofilm.…”

“…This can be overcome by adding a dye, thereby disclosing the biofilm, especially in the posterior retentive areas. Increasing the visibility of the pathological source to patients can be a promising and reliable way to improvise their home oral hygiene practices, and thus can motivate them to achieve ideal brushing technique [10]. Studies suggest that the use of disclosing agents such as erythrosine, will help to remove dental biofilm more easily when used prior to brushing [11].…”

“…The assessment of the outcome of oral hygiene practices needs tools with higher accuracy, consistency and sensitivity towards the amount of remaining biofilm on the surface of the teeth [16]. Digital plaque image analysis (DPIA) could be a noninvasive alternative for measuring biofilm on the tooth surface and has been used in some studies [10]. However, majority of the studies so far have evaluated the efficacy of dye containing toothpaste in professional care, hence it warranted its evaluation in self-care as well.…”

AIM:To compare the effects of a plaque disclosing toothpaste with a regular fluoridated toothpaste for supragingival biofilm reduction in patients with chronic gingivitis.MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study was a randomized controlled trial with a parallel design. Forty patients, both males and females aged 18-25 years with chronic generalized gingivitis (N=40) were randomly allocated to two groups of twenty each (n=20), using lottery method. Participants in the experimental group brushed with a plaque disclosing toothpaste, while participants in the control group brushed with regular fluoridated toothpaste. Clinically, biofilm was measured using Silness & Loe Plaque Index, both at baseline and at follow up visits by two assessors who were blinded to group allocation. Adjunctly, intraoral photographs were taken for Digital Plaque Image Analysis of the remaining dental biofilm in the upper and lower anterior labial tooth surfaces, and calculated based on the area of stained pixels. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. Mean plaque scores between the groups were compared using independent sample t-test and p<0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS:Data of all the 40 participants were analyzed as they were no drop outs. No significant differences were found in the mean plaque scores between the two groups (p=0.059) at the end of the study. Similarly, Digital Plaque Image Analysis showed no significant difference in the mean plaque scores between the groups (p= 0.93).CONCLUSION:This study showed that there are no additional benefits of using a plaque disclosing toothpaste, in enhancing the removal of the supragingival dental biofilm during routine oral hygiene maintenance.

General health and dental health are equally important. Periodontal disease, gingivitis, plaque, and sore throats may affect a higher proportion of the population these days. To support maintaining the best possible dental health, several formulae are available. To support maintaining the best possible dental health, several formulae are available. Using mouthwash is recommended to lessen plaque, discomfort, bacteria, and bad breath. Herbal mouthwash is preferred over chemical mouthwash since it has fewer side effects or almost no side effects, doesn't include alcohol, and is not irritating. Medicinal plants can be used for prevention, treatment and management of disease as they have antibacterial qualities against pathogens that afflict humans. Compared to synthetic mouthwash, herbal mouthwash has fewer or no negative effects because it is made from extracts of crude drugs. Several plant extracts are used to make herbal mouthwashes. The following herbs which are helpful in dentistry are mentioned in this article: clove, peppermint, miswak, Tulsi, wintergreen, guava, pomegranate, and cinnamon. Mouthwashes made with natural ingredients that people may easily make and use safely at home could improve dental health in general. Using natural mouthwash to maintain dental health is the main objective of this review.
