The miswak, a traditional chewing stick for cleaning teeth, is made from the plant Salvadora persica. It contains a wide range of healthy components in maintaining good oral hygiene. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain by comparing with one of commercially available whitening toothpaste and drinking water as a control group. A randomized experimental study was done. The standard method cycled clear acrylic specimens through artificial saliva, 0.2% chlorhexidine and tea on the hour 8 times per day and stain were measured using a spectrophotometer to achieve baseline reading. Test interventions were 2 whitening kinds of toothpaste; whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica extract (group A), commercial whitening toothpaste (group B) and drinking water as a control group (group C). Treatment interventions were done at 09:00 and 16:00 by exposing the specimens to slurries of each treatment for 2 minutes. The specimens remained in the artificial saliva between each cycles day and night. At the end of the day, the stain was assessed by spectrophotometer and Lobene Stain Index. The comparison of total stain removal assessed by spectrophotometer on day 5 between all groups was significant (p=0.007). The median of total stain removal and visual assessment recording using Lobene stain index showed Salvadora persica whitening toothpaste scored more reduction of staining followed by commercial whitening toothpaste and then control group. As a conclusion, the whitening toothpaste containing Salvadora persica is more effective at removing tea and chlorhexidine stain.

It is used in different part of Africa, Asia especially in Middle East, South of America,2 India, Pakistan and mostly of Muslim community. This custom was adopted and Islamized by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him/PBUH) because there are several hadith mentioning the benefits of siwak in maintaining oral hygiene. Many studies have been done to explore the oral hygiene advantages of this stick. Salvadora persica contains trimethylamine, salvadorine, chloride, fluoride, silica, sulphur, mustard oil, vitamin C, resins and traces of tannins, saponins, flavonoids and sterol. Actually this chemical composition influence to the oral hygiene. The unique chemicals component, fibers proved the effect to periodontal status, caries, antimicrobial, cleanness, whitening, calculus removal, and so on. Furthermore miswak is generally used for a longer period of time and frequency (because it is used at least 5 times a day before praying). So normally the miswak users have higher oral hygiene status.
