Shitada is one of the Dantamulagata Rogas mentioned by Acarya Susruta under the heading of Mukha Rogas. It is characterized by symptoms like spontaneous bleeding, halitosis, blackish discoloration of gums, and so on. The symptomatology of Shitada can be compared with gingivitis, which is caused mainly by the accumulation of debris, plaque, and calculus at the tooth margin due to ignorance of oral care. It can progress into periodontitis - the disease in which the firmness, contour, and position of the gums are altered and teeth become mobile. The prevalence of gingivitis is as high as 50% in most of the population. In the present study, a total of 33 patients were registered in three groups. Bhadramustadi yoga has been used in paste form for local application along with Nagaradi Kwatha Gandusa in Group A and in powder form for Pratisarana along with Nagaradi Kwatha Gandusa in Group B. In Group C (Control) Sphatika Jala was used. The patients were diagnosed and assessed on the basis of Ayurvedic as well as modern classical signs and symptoms. Further assessment was done with the different indices used in modern dentistry. All the signs and symptoms were given a score depending upon the severity, to assess the effect of the drugs objectively. The effect of therapy was highly significant in group A in most of the signs, symptoms, and indices; and in group B it was highly significant in some signs and symptoms.
Shitada是阿查亚·苏什鲁塔在“口腔疾病”标题下列出的丹塔穆拉加塔疾病之一。其特征包括自发性出血、口臭、牙龈发黑等症状。Shitada的症状学可与牙龈炎相比较，牙龈炎主要是由于忽视口腔护理，牙缘处的碎屑、牙菌斑和牙结石堆积所致。它可发展为牙周炎，即牙龈的硬度、轮廓和位置发生改变且牙齿松动的疾病。在大多数人群中，牙龈炎的患病率高达50%。在本研究中，共有33名患者被分为三组。A组使用Bhadramustadi瑜伽膏剂与纳加拉迪克瓦塔甘杜萨一起局部应用，B组使用Bhadramustadi瑜伽粉剂与纳加拉迪克瓦塔甘杜萨一起用于灌肠。C组（对照组）使用斯帕蒂卡·贾拉。根据阿育吠陀以及现代经典的体征和症状对患者进行诊断和评估。使用现代牙科中使用的不同指标进行进一步评估。根据严重程度为所有体征和症状打分，以客观评估药物的效果。在大多数体征、症状和指标方面，A组的治疗效果非常显著；在一些体征和症状方面，B组的治疗效果非常显著。
