Abstract :

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of topically applied herbal gum astringent gel (Hiora^TM–GA) as an adjunct to scaling in the treatment of plaque induced moderate to severe chronic gingivitis. Materials And Methods: Sixty subjects with moderate to severe chronic gingivitis were randomly assigned into Test group (scaling followed by HiOra–GA� application) & control group (only scaling). An analysis of plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and sulcus bleeding index (SBI) were carried out at baseline and after 3 weeks and 6 weeks. Results: On intra–group comparison statistically significant reduction (p≤0.05) at 3 and 6 weeks from baseline in both test group and control group. Results: However on intergroup comparison there was statistically significant difference between the test group and control group in GI and SBI. Conclusion: Topical HiOra–GA gel application resulted in significant reduction in plaque and gingival inflammation.
