Title: Efficacy of Biodegradable Natural fibers-Infused Toothbrushes in Plaque Control and Gingival Health: A Comparative Study

Background: Plaque removal is crucial for preventing gingivitis and periodontitis. Biodegradable toothbrushes, infused with natural substances like charcoal and neem, provide an eco-friendly alternative to conventional nylon brushes. Charcoal offers antibacterial properties, while neem provides antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the antiplaque and anti-inflammatory effects of charcoal-infused and neem-infused toothbrushes with conventional toothbrushes.

Methods: This double-blind randomized controlled trial included 33 systemically healthy individuals diagnosed with gingivitis. Baseline plaque scores were set to zero through professional scaling. Subjects were randomly …


Double-Blinded Randomized Control Trial Investigating The Efficacy Of Probiotic Mouth Rinse In Enhancing Oral Health, Sudeep C B Prof. Dr., Sunil P M Prof. Dr. Feb 2024

Double-Blinded Randomized Control Trial Investigating The Efficacy Of Probiotic Mouth Rinse In Enhancing Oral Health, Sudeep C B Prof. Dr., Sunil P M Prof. Dr.

Annual Research Symposium

The efficacy of probiotic mouth rinse in enhancing oral health was investigated through a double-blinded randomized controlled trial involving 45 children aged 12 to 15 over a two-week period. Comparing probiotic mouth rinse, chlorhexidine mouth rinse, and a control group, plaque and gingival accumulation were assessed using established indices. Results indicated both probiotic and chlorhexidine groups exhibited reduced plaque compared to the control, with the probiotic group showing superior reduction in gingival inflammation. These findings suggest the potential of probiotic mouth rinse in improving oral hygiene and overall oral health.


Relationship Between Periodontal Disease And Coronary Heart Disease: A Bibliometric Analysis, Xiaowen Bo, Wenpeng Song Feb 2024

Relationship Between Periodontal Disease And Coronary Heart Disease: A Bibliometric Analysis, Xiaowen Bo, Wenpeng Song

Annual Research Symposium

Periodontal disease (PD) and coronary heart disease (CHD) are both prevalent diseases worldwide and cause patients physical and mental suffering and a global burden. Recent studies have suggested a link between PD and CHD, but there is less research in this field from the perspective of bibliometrics. This study aimed to quantitatively analyze the literature on PD and CHD to summarize intellectual bases, research hotspots, and emerging trends and pave the way for future research.
