Anti-Inflammatory Efficacy of Ginger Containing Dentifrice in the Control of Biofilm Induced Gingivitis

Anti-Inflammatory Efficacy of Ginger Containing Dentifrice in the Control of Biofilm Induced Gingivitis: a 3 Months Randomized Parallel Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test efficiency of using toothpaste containing (Ginger) over a period of three month to control on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation through measuring the clinical periodontal parameters (Gingival Index (GI), Bleeding on probing (BOP) and modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (mQHPI ) in comparison with Colgate total toothpastes in patients with biofilm induced gingivitis.

Objectives:

1. Measuring the clinical periodontal parameter (gingival index) and salivary cytokine IL-1β and superoxide dismutase SOD over a period 3 months before and after using Capitano (ginger containing) and Colgate total toothpastes for patients with gingivitis.
2. Measuring the clinical periodontal parameter ((Gingival Index (GI), Bleeding on probing (BOP) and modified Quigley-HeinPlaque Index (mQHPI )) over a period 3 months before and after using Capitano (ginger containing) and Colgate total toothpastes for patients with gingivitis by ELISA.
3. correlation between ( Interleukin 1 beta and SOD) and clinical periodontal parameters

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects aged 20-35 who will volunteer to participate.
2. Apparently good general health.
3. Patients with gingivitis (having ≥30% bleeding sites with no PPD >3 mm, intact periodontium and no loss of periodontal attachment).
4. Those with a minimum of 20 natural teeth.

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. Those with chronic disease, immunocompromised patients, pregnant, on contraceptive and lactating women.

  2. Those currently using any mouthwash. 3. Those on antibiotic therapy and anti-inflammatory medications during the study and at the last 2 months before the study.

  4. Those having a history of hypersensitivity to any product used in the present study.

  5. Those with a recent tooth extraction. 6. Those having periodontitis. 7. Those who smoker or alcoholism. 8. Those with extensive untreated dental caries, diseases of hard and soft palate and subjects wearing orthodontic appliances, removable dentures, implant, crown and bridge or presenting with abnormal salivary flow.
