Brief Summary  
This is a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of herbal tooth paste on dental plaque and gingival health against commercially available tooth paste. Before the start of the study, written consent will be taken from the patients. A total sample of 60 volunteers will be included in the study. The 60 volunteers will be assigned randomly into two groups, namely Group A, i.e. the Control group and Group B i.e. the Test group equally. 30 volunteers in Group A will receive Colgate with amino shakti tooth paste as control and 30 volunteers in Group B will receive Edinora prime tooth paste. All the study participants will receive a Colgate medium tooth brush for brushingParticipants will be advised to brush twice daily for 2-3 minutes, using pea size amount of tooth paste. The weight of tooth paste will be measured and recorded on the first visit before the distribution and on the last visit. On the first visit participants will be  asked to report in the morning, i.e., approximately  12 hours after oral hygiene for baseline sampling. Oral examination will be carried out and dental plaque will be assessed using modified Quigley Hein plaque index and gingivitis will be scored using Loe H & Silness P gingival index. After the oral examination, demonstration of modified bass method of brushing will be given using a study model and later the tooth paste and tooth brush will be distributed based on the assigned group. The oral examination will be conducted by trained dentist and the dentist will be blinded. Plaque disclosing agent will be used for scoring the dental plaque. The second visit will be on the 15th day  after the initial visit and plaque index and gingival index will be recorded. The final visit will be on the 30th day and plaque index and gingival index will be recorded and the participants will be asked to return the remaining tooth paste to the researcher. All the study participants will be blinded throughout the study. The collected data will be used for statistical analysis and the statistician will be blinded.
