The prevalence of gingivitis is substantial within the general population, necessitating rigorous oral hygiene maintenance.
This study assessed a Garcinia indica (GI) fruit extract-based mouthrinse, comparing it to a 0.1% turmeric mouthrinse and a 0.2% Chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthrinse. The evaluation encompassed substantivity, staining potential, antimicrobial efficacy and cytocompatibility.
The study employed 182 tooth sections. For antimicrobial analysis, 64 extracted human teeth coated with a polymicrobial biofilm were divided into four groups, each receiving an experimental mouthrinse or serving as a control group with distilled water. Microbial reduction was assessed through colony forming units (CFU). Substantivity was evaluated on 54 human tooth sections using a UV spectrophotometer, while staining potential was examined on 64 tooth sections. Cytocompatibility was tested using colorimetric assay to determine non-toxic levels of 0.2% GI fruit extract, 0.1% Turmeric, and 0.2% CHX.
Data were analysed with one-way ANOVA (α=0.05). Cell viability was highly significant (p<0.001) in the 0.2% GI group (64.1±0.29) compared to 0.1% Turmeric (40.2±0.34) and 0.2% CHX (10.95±1.40). For antimicrobial activity, both 0.2% GI (20.18±4.81) and 0.2% CHX (28.22±5.41) exhibited no significant difference (P>0.05) at end of 12 hours. However, 0.1% Turmeric showed minimal CFU reduction (P<0.001). Substantivity results at 360 minutes indicated statistically significant higher mean release rate in 0.1%Turmeric (12.47±5.84 ) when compared to 0.2% GI (5.02±3.04) and 0.2% CHX (4.13±2.25) (p<0.001). The overall discoloration changes (∆E) were more prominent in the 0.2% CHX group (18.65±8.3) compared to 0.2% GI (7.61±2.4) and 0.1% Turmeric (7.32±4.9) (P<0.001).
This study supports 0.2% GI and 0.1% Turmeric mouth rinses as potential natural alternatives to chemical mouth rinses. These findings highlight viability of these natural supplements in oral healthcare.
牙龈炎在普通人群中普遍存在,需要严格保持口腔卫生。
本研究评估了一种基于藤黄果(GI)提取物的漱口液,将其与 0.1%姜黄漱口液和 0.2%洗必泰(CHX)漱口液进行比较。评估包括持续性、染色潜力、抗菌功效和细胞相容性。
本研究使用了 182 个牙段。对于抗菌分析,将 64 个涂有微生物生物膜的人牙分为四组,每组分别接受实验性漱口液或用蒸馏水作为对照组。通过菌落形成单位(CFU)评估微生物减少。在 54 个人牙段上使用紫外分光光度计评估持续性,在 64 个人牙段上评估染色潜力。使用比色法测定细胞毒性试验以确定 0.2%GI 果提取物、0.1%姜黄和 0.2%CHX 的无毒水平。
使用单向方差分析(α=0.05)进行数据分析。0.2%GI 组(64.1±0.29)的细胞活力显著(p<0.001)高于 0.1%姜黄组(40.2±0.34)和 0.2%CHX 组(10.95±1.40)。对于抗菌活性,在 12 小时结束时,0.2%GI(20.18±4.81)和 0.2%CHX(28.22±5.41)均无显著差异(P>0.05)。然而,0.1%姜黄显示最小的 CFU 减少(P<0.001)。在 360 分钟时的持续性结果表明,与 0.2%GI(5.02±3.04)和 0.2%CHX(4.13±2.25)相比,0.1%姜黄的平均释放率具有统计学意义上的更高(12.47±5.84)(p<0.001)。总体变色变化(∆E)在 0.2%CHX 组中更为明显(18.65±8.3),与 0.2%GI(7.61±2.4)和 0.1%姜黄(7.32±4.9)相比(P<0.001)。
本研究支持 0.2%GI 和 0.1%姜黄漱口液作为化学漱口液的潜在天然替代品。这些发现突出了这些天然补充剂在口腔保健中的活力。
