Abstract
AimTo evaluate the effect of aloe vera versus nanosilver (NS) mouthwashes in comparison with chlorhexidine on plaque-induced gingivitis.Patients and methodsSixty patients with plaque-induced gingivitis were assigned to three groups and asked to rinse with 10 ml of aloe vera, NS or chlorhexidine, immediately after brushing for 1 min. The plaque, gingival, and papilla bleeding indices were taken at baseline, 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks.ResultsThere were statistically significant differences in all investigated parameters after 2 and 4 weeks as compared to the baseline in all groups. While there were no significant differences between the groups during any evaluation period. Aloe vera and NS mouthwashes showed no side effects.ConclusionThe results indicated that aloe vera and NS mouthwashes can be used as effective mouthwashes without any side effects.
