Brief Summary  
Aim of the study is to compare the effect of topical application of Argyreia Speciosa gel and Triphala Gel as an adjunct to scaling with scaling alone 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 either topical application of Argyreia Speciosa gel orTriphala Gel as an adjunct to scaling or 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 Argyreia speciosa gel or Triphala 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. 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 second blinded operator.
