Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory Effect of Cinnamaldehyde Mouthwash in Comparison with Chlorhexidine in Patients with Gingivitis

Background and Objective: Gingivitis literally means gingival inflammation and the most common gingival disease.Dental plaque is the main cause of gingivitis.plaque control by chemical by chemical materials are always recommended. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of cinammadehyde and chlrohexidine mouthwash.Materials and Methods: The present study is a randomized clinical trial. The study population is composed of patients referring in 2017. These patients are between the ages of 20 and 45 years.the data was analyzed by spss and other analyzing softwares. To prepare the mouthwash the solvents of ethanol, glycerin, propylene glycol, isopropyl alcohol, PEG 300 and were used. Patients were trained how to use mouthwash In order to evaluate plaque and gingival accumulation. To record the indices the gingival of each tooth were devided into four levels of distofacial ,mesofacial ,facial and lingual margin.The gingival index and the plaque index were obtained. The PI, GI indexes were recorded on the first day of the examination in the patient s case, and then the patient was examined weekly for 3 weeks to evaluate the effects of the treatment received 10 ml of cinnamaldehyde mouthwash (0.1%), the second group received 10 mg chlorhexidine mouthwash (0.2%) and placebo was given to the control group.Finding: There was no significant difference between the three during the first week. But differences were reported at the end of the third week. In the evaluation of plaque and gingival index, the highest reduction was observed in the chlorhexidine group and the difference between the chlorhexidine group and placebogroup was significant. There was no significant difference between the chlorhexidine group and the Cinnamaldehyde group in both indices.Conclusion: This study indicates the effect of Cinnamaldehyde mouthwash on improving gingival index and dental plaque compared to chlorhexidine.there was no related datas between the age and the result of indices. Also this study has been done in this dental school to show the benefits of reducing the side effects of taking chemical and synthetimouthwash by replacing the herbal ones
