Clinical Evaluation of the Antibacterial Activity of Thioglycosides Extracted from White Mustard - Bamberka in Oral Hygiene. Evaluation of Periodontal Parameters and Oral Microbiota in Patients.

Summary

Brief Summary The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical and antibacterial effects of a herbal toothpaste containing white mustard (Sinapis alba) extract in patients diagnosed with gingivitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the herbal toothpaste significantly reduce plaque index (PI), approximal plaque index (API), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing (BoP) compared to a placebo toothpaste? Does the herbal toothpaste effectively reduce the bacterial loads of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp. in saliva compared to a placebo? Researchers will compare the effects of the herbal toothpaste to a placebo toothpaste to determine its efficacy in improving periodontal parameters and reducing bacterial levels. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of two groups: test group (herbal toothpaste) or control group (placebo toothpaste). Use the assigned toothpaste twice daily for 4 weeks. Undergo clinical evaluations at baseline (T0) and after 4 weeks (T1), including measurements of PI, API, GI, and BoP. Provide saliva samples at T0 and T1 for microbiological analysis of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus spp. bacterial loads.
