Gingivitis is one of the commonly prevalent oral diseases worldwide which is caused by the bacterial biofilm adhering to the teeth surfaces. Chlorhexidine is the antimicrobial agent most familiar to dental professionals. The need for frequent application of Chlorhexidine and other side effects such as unpleasant taste and staining has stimulated the search for alternatives. "Triphala" is among the most common formulas used in Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine. Triphala has an antibacterial effect. In this context, a study was undertaken to ascertain the effects of a mouthwash prepared with Triphala on the oral health status and compare it with commercially available Chlorhexidine mouthwash.
