dc.description.abstractObjectives: To evaluate the antiplaque and antibacterial efficacy of commercially available mouthwashes containing aloe vera (AV), hydrogen peroxide (HP), and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) in a 4-day plaque regrowth study. Methods: Plaque score and salivary samples were assessed (Day-0 and Day-4) in 96 participants in a randomised, double-blind prospective parallel-arm 4-day plaque regrowth study. Participants were divided into five groups who refrained from engaging in regular oral hygiene measures during the study period and used commercially available mouthwashes containing AV, HP, and CPC as test products with distilled water (DW) and chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash as negative and positive controls, respectively. Salivary bacterial count was expressed as colony-forming units (CFU) (culture method). Results: There was a significant difference both in plaque score (p < 0.001) and in CFU (p < 0.001) among the study mouthwashes at Day-4. The plaque score and CFU of AV were significantly higher and lower than those of CHX and DW, respectively. The plaque score of HP was significantly higher than that of AV (p ¼ 0.016) and CPC (p < 0.001). No significant difference was observed between AV and CPC (p ¼ 0.70). Moreover, the CFU of HP was significantly higher than that of CPC (p ¼ 0.04). There was no statistically significant difference between the CFU of mouthwashes containing AV and HP (p ¼ 0.912) or AV and CPC (p ¼ 0.280). No significant difference was seen in the inhibition of plaque and salivary bacterial count between AV, HP, and CPC. Conclusion: The antiplaque and antibacterial efficacy of commercially available AV mouthwash was similar to that of CPC and significantly better than that of HP mouthwash and can be a natural alternative to chemically formulated mouthwashes.en_US
