This parallel controlled clinical trial evaluated the effect of a gel containing Lippia sidoides essential oil on plaque and gingivitis control.
Thirty patients (n=30) were randomly selected and allocated into three groups: Lippia sidoides (LS, n=10), chlorhexidine (CLX, n=10) or placebo (control, n=10). Plaque and bleeding index were recorded at baseline and after three months. All volunteers were instructed to brush with the gel three times a day throughout the experiment period.
There was a significant reduction on plaque and gingivitis in the test groups (P<.05), but no statistically significant difference was observed between them (P>.05).
A gel preparation containing 10% Lippia sidoides essential oil was an efficient herbal antiplaque and antigingivitis agent.
本平行对照临床试验评估了含有拟荆芥精油的凝胶对牙菌斑和牙龈炎控制的效果。
随机选取30名患者(n = 30),分为三组:拟荆芥组(LS,n = 10)、氯己定组(CLX,n = 10)或安慰剂组(对照组,n = 10)。在基线和三个月后记录牙菌斑和出血指数。在整个实验期间,所有志愿者均被指示每天用凝胶刷牙三次。
试验组的牙菌斑和牙龈炎均有显著减少(P <.05),但两组之间未观察到统计学上的显著差异(P >.05)。
含有10%拟荆芥精油的凝胶制剂是一种有效的草药抗牙菌斑和抗牙龈炎药物。
