Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: mild-moderate chronic periodontitis

• Registration Number: CTRI/2019/01/017038
• Lead Sponsor: Manipal College of Dental Sciences Mangalore

Brief Summary

In this randomized control trial, the efficacy of reduction in aerosol contamination will be evaluated and compared using 0.12% chlorhexidine mothwash, herbal mouthwash and distilled water. Total of 30 participants will be selected for the study based on inclusion criteria and will be randomized into 3 groups. Prior to the scaling procedure, saliva sample will be collected then pre-procedural mouth rinse will be done.  Agar plates will be kept in patient chest zone, assistant zone and operator chest zone during the ultrasonic scaling procedure. Then the agar plates will be sent for microbiological analysis to count the colony forming units. the number of colony forming units among the three groups will be compared.
