Evaluation Of Antiplaque Efficacy Of Licorice Extract Mouthrinse & Hypertonic Salt Solution And Their Comparison With Essential Oil & Chlorhexidine Mouthrinses-An Invitro & Invivo Study"
Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease caused by mainly bacterial, genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. Chronic periodontitis, one of the widely prevalent forms of periodontal disease, is characterized by loss of attachment apparatus of the tooth; it can lead to tooth loss. Many non surgical and surgical approaches have been adapted time and again to prevent, intercept, and to treat the various forms of chronic periodontitis. But, these treatment modalities are not approachable by all individuals, because of the various factors such as: low socioeconomic status, illiteracy, high cost of the treatment, no availability of easy and uncomplicated treatment nearby etc. Considering these factors, there are still a need of preventive, practical, and affordable treatment options specially for the population of underdeveloped and developing countries.

Primary outcomes
- Modified Plaque Index — After 4 days
Modified Plaque Index (Turesky, Gilmore, Glickman modification of Quigely Hein Index, 1970) after disclosing the teeth with two tone solution the PI was recorded. Facial and lingual aspects were scored with PI. Scoring was as follows: 0 - No plaque/debris 1 - Separate flecks of plaque at the cervical margin of the tooth. 2 - A thin continuous band of plaque (up to 1mm) at the cervical margin of the tooth. 3 - A band of plaque wider than 1 mm but covering less than one third of the crown of the tooth 4 - plaque covering at least one third but less than two thirds of the crown of the tooth. 5 - Plaque covering two third or more of the crown of the tooth. Modified Plaque Index = Total score / no. of surfaces examined.
