inclined forward so that the saliva will collect in the floor of the mouth from

where it is spat into a 20 ml sterile specimen bottle for 5 minutes.

The saliva samples collected in the before the rinse for each group served as the

control and the samples collected after 5minutes of use mouth rinse

chlorhexidine, ,hydrogen peroxide, cetylpyridinium chloride and povidine-iodine

as the experimental..

All five Mouthwashes were used in definite concentration

1.chlorhexidine brand name chlorhex-0.2%

2. hydrogen peroxide brand name hydroxyl-3%

3.cetylpyridinium chloride brand name mcclean-0.07%

4. Povidine-iodine brand name betadine-7%

5. Colgate Plax

Subects in each group will be asked to rinse their mouth using respective mouthwashes and their samples will be collected after two hours of rinsing using saliva collection kit during first visit and one month after bonding. Sample will be stored using dry ice at - 80 degree. Then sample will be tested for the load of rhinovirus using ELISA and bacterial load will be detected by measuring CFU on blood agar medium.
