Brief Summary
|
Aim of the study is to compare the Clinical efficacy of topical application of Argyreia speciosa gel and Ocimum sanctum gel as an adjunct to scaling in terms of reduction in dental plaque, gingival inflammation along with gingival bleeding in gingivitis. All the participants will be explained about the need, design of study. Informed written consent will be obtained from the patients. Clinical case history will be recorded. All the clinical parameters (GI, SBI, PI) will be recorded at baseline using UNC 15 periodontal probe (Hu Friedy). Each patient will undergo ultrasonic scaling (EMS) by a single operator. It is a single-blind study in which the patient will be randomly assigned to Group 1 (Scaling + Argyreia speciosa gel), Group 2 (Scaling + Ocimum Sanctum gel) or Group 3 (Scaling alone) using “Computer generated” method. After full-mouth scaling, subjects from test group will be instructed to take a pea size portion of the either Argyreia speciosa gel (MGT Gel) or Ocimum Sanctum gel on the index finger and gently massage all over the gingiva, twice a day after brushing for 15 days as directed by the manufacturer. Patients will be instructed to follow the standard advised oral hygiene measures with a reminder given via phone call to use gel efficiently for optimal oral health benefits. From test group patients will be asked to bring back the given tube at the 15 days follow-up appointment. The subjects who missed the application of gel will be excluded from the study. The subjects will be re-evaluated for the GI, SBI and PI after 15 days. All the clinical parameters will be recorded at baseline and after 15 days by the blinded assessor. |
