简要总结
“This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) on oral health among patients attending dental OPD. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of fennel on oral health parameters. This interventional study was carried out among participants selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were instructed to use fennel regularly, and outcomes were assessed using a structured assessment method. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the results. The findings of this study are expected to provide a simple and cost-effective approach for improving oral health.”
