A project was launched to evaluate and compare antimicrobial efficacy of Hexidine and Listerine over placebo in 10 day human experimental gingivitis study. A rigid study schedule for subject compliance spanning well over 3 months was sorted out and volunteers recruited for study rinsed all the 3 assigned mouthrinses containing (a) chlorhexidine gluconate, (b) "essential oils" and (c) flavoured distilled water one after the other at certain prefixed intervals. After 10 days of assigned mouthrinse regimen, where the assigned mouthrinse was the only method practiced by the volunteers for oral hygiene, Supragingival Plaque was quantitatively and qualitatively assayed. Qualitatively supragingival plaque was assayed by Gram staining (Direct smear and Thioglycollate Broth) and growth characteristics i.e; Aerobic, Microaerophilic and Anaerobic growth was noted. Quantitatively plaque was assayed by calculating total microbial load per tooth by preparing Mafarland Nephelometer standard and Spectrophotometric analysis. It is concluded that Hexidine and Listerine exert similar antimicrobial efficacy in 10 days experimental gingivitis study. Hexidine and Listerine exert their antimicrobial influence through reduction of total Aerobes and Anaerobes reducing total microbial load per tooth by 58% and 53% respectively as compared to placebo.
