Condition(s) studied

Morus Nigra Mouthwash: Morus nigra extract based mouthwash, used 2 times a day for 14 days
Study summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical, microbiological, and biochemical effects of Morus nigra (black mulberry) mouthwash when used as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment (scaling and root planing - SRP) in patients with generalized gingivitis. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving SRP only, and the other receiving SRP plus Morus nigra mouthwash twice daily for 14 days. Clinical parameters, cytokine levels in gingival crevicular fluid (TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-10), and subgingival bacterial load will be assessed at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Changes in Gingival Index (GI) — Baseline, 1 month, and 3 months.
Gingival inflammation will be assessed using the Loe and Silness Gingival Index. Higher scores indicate more severe inflammation.
