Plant-derived medicines have been a part of our traditional health care system, and the antimicrobial properties of plant-derived compounds are well documented. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an aqueous extract of Terminalia chebula (a medicinal plant) on salivary samples and its potential for use as an anticaries agent in the form of mouthwash. A concentrated aqueous ex...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of mouth rinse solutions on color stability, surface roughness and microhardness of two composite resins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty test specimens of each composite (Filtek Z250 and Z350; 3M ESPE) were made using a teflon matrix (12x2 mm). Color, surface roughness and Knoop microhardness baseline measurements of each specimen wer...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of an antiseptic, non-alcohol based mouth-rinse containing chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium chloride, in preventing the oral complications associated to radiation therapy in head-and-neck cancer patients. STUDY DESIGN This was a parallel, double blind, prospective, randomized clinical trial. Cancer patients were randomly assigned to one of the two treatments (...

Rinsing the mouth with a carbohydrate solution has been shown to improve exercise performance in a manner similar to carbohydrate ingestion. However, the underlying mechanisms behind these ergogenic benefits remain unclear. This study evaluated whether rinsing the mouth with a carbohydrate solution alters plasma insulin and glucose concentration during the initial stages of a 40 km cycling time...

We probe the existence of the Epeak–Eiso correlation in long GRBs using a sample of 442 BATSE bursts with known Epeak and with redshift estimated through the lag–luminosity correlation. This sample confirms that the rest frame peak energy is correlated with the isotropic equivalent energy. The distribution of the scatter of the points around the best fitting line is similar to that obtained wit...

Context: Mouth rinses have been recognized as the main adjuvant or primary treatment to address many issues relating dentistry. Previous studies investigated anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial effects of Aloe vera. Recently, vera has applied treat several dental oral conditions. Methods: Official web pages, such Scopus, PubMed, Microsoft ...

Dental plaque is a well known etiologic factor for gingivitis. Recently, herbal extracts are a matter of scientific interest to inhibit plaque accumulation on teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of German Chamomile (GC) mouth wash on plaque and gingival indices. Twenty five gingivitis patients (15 female and 10 male, mean age 27±7.76 years) participated in this contr...
