Abstract
Introduction: Chrysopogon zizanioides (Vetiver grass) is the source of a valuable essential oil, for which purpose it is often grown commercially. Amongst its many other uses, it provides material for thatch, has many medicinal applications and is cultivated to protect the soil from erosion. People take vetiver for nerve and circulation problems and for stomach pain. Vetiver is sometimes inhaled as aromatherapy for nervousness,insomnia, and joint and muscle pain. Vetiver oil has been used as anti-inflammatory, antiseptics, antioxidant and antibacterial activities.
Materials and methods: Vetiver leaves have been extracted from and leaves are dried for 10 days then the extracted leaves are used for mouthwash preparation. The aqueous extract of prepared leaves was used for mouthwash preparation. Mouthwash preparation was done by the aqueous extract of chrysopogon zizanioides .20 patients with chronic periodontitis were selected for the study. In which 10 patients with the test group had Chrysopogon zizanioides mouthwash and 10 patients with the control group were given with chlorhexidine mouthwash. Each mouthwash was asked to use twice daily. Clinical parameters were assessed Probing depth, clinical attachment level and Bleeding index at baseline till 14 days.
Results: Results of the study showed that chrysopogon zizanioides and chlorhexidine are equally effective in reducing plaque, gingival, and bleeding indices at 14-day intervals. However, no significant reductions in PD, CAL and BI in the 14-day interval in group 1 (Chrysopogon zizanioides) and group 2(Chlorhexidine mouthwash) when compared with chlorhexidine were evident.
Conclusion: The results in the present study indicate that chrysopogon zizanioides may prove to be as effective as chlorhexidine mouthwash in its ability in reducing all the three indices by reducing probing depth, clinical attachment level and bleeding index.
