Summary
Myrrh-based mouthwash has the potential to be a suitable alternative to the gold standard
chlorhexidine mouthwash for dental plaque and gingivitis reduction. To date, however, little
research has been carried out to determine its true clinical significance on periodontal
health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 1% myrrh
mouthwash with commercially available 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash in terms of plaque and
gingivitis reduction and inflammatory mediator (interleukin-1β) inhibition.
