Abstract

|
|
Objective: Mouthrinse has been very popular as it is easy to use and more products reflecting consumers’ needs are com-mercially available, however, chemical agents in mouthrinse might have side effects when they are used in long term. The aim of this study was to compare mouthrinse containing essential oil and mouthrinse containing propolis in the effects on re-duction of oral malodor and screen if propolis can be used as mouthrinse to reduce oral malodor.
Methods: Sixty Subjects without any oral diseases were randomly selected after interviews and preliminary examinations, mouthrinses were distributed to them. PROPOLIS LIQUID (0.15%; Nature’s Bio Technology Pty Ltd., Australia) was diluted with distilled water for the positive control group and Listerine zero? was used for the negative control group. They were re-quested to use 15 ml of mouthrinses twice a day, after breakfast and dinner, for 1 minute and oral malodor was measured us-ing Oral Chroma? (Abilit Co., Japan) after 1 week.
Results: In the positive control group used mouthrinse containing propolis had significantly lower level of hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide than the baseline and same results were obtained in the negative control group.
Conclusion: Mouthrinse containing propolis has same effects on reducing oral malodor as mouthrinse containing essential oil, also, considering it has few side effects, it can be used daily mouthrinse.
