Abstract

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analogue and anatomize the effect of KP Namboodiri’s herbal mouthwash and 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash in orthodontic patients after using it for 15 days.
Materials and Methods:  A total of 40 patients receiving fixed orthodontic treatment were selected. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I - 20 patients were given KP Namboodiri’s herbal mouthwash for 15 days and Group II - 20 patients were given Chlorhexidine mouthwash. Supra gingival Plaque samples were collected on the day 0 (baseline), followed by day 15 for microbial analysis.
Results: Microbial colonies were truncated in both the groups without significant difference between the groups after 15 days in both the groups (P <0>
Conclusions: KP Namboodiri’s mouthwash could be effectively used instead of Chlorhexidine mouthwash.

Keywords: Plaque, Menthol, Thymol.
