Brief Summary  

Acacia catechu Willd (Khadir) belonging to Family-Fabaceae and subfamily-Mimosoideae is a historical plant which has a valuable importance because of its medicinal properties. Acacia catechu exhibits various pharmacological effects like anti-inflammatory, anti-diarrhoeal, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antipyretic, antimicrobial, anticancer, antibacterial, anti-ulcer and antisecretory activities, sore throat and wound healing etc.  Acacia catechu is also useful as a topical agent for sore gums and mouth ulcers. Thus the plant has diverse pharmacological actions.

 

Acacia catechu extract may act as a good oral hygiene product because of its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. Since, there are no studies regarding the efficacy of Acacia catechu as a mouthwash, this study is carried out to assess the efficacy of Acacia catechu as mouthwash in treatment of gingivitis.
