Abstract

Aim: To assess the anti-plaque, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial efficacy of Myrrh oil as an adjunctto scaling and root planing in the treatment of gingival inflammation. Materials and Methods: Subjectswith moderate to severe gingivitis were recruited for this parallel arm, double blind randomized controlledtrial. All subjects underwent SRP at baseline and were randomly divided into Group A (placebo control)and Group B (Myrrh oil). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and microbiological analysis was carriedout at baseline, 48 hrs and 1week interval Results: Thirty subjects completed the study. Myrrh oil showedanti-inflammatory and antibacterial efficacy. There were no statistically significant differences betweenthe groups with respect to plaque score at baseline (p=0.25), after 48 hours (p=0.16) and after 1 week(p=0.37). There was a significantly lower gingival inflammation (p=0.02) recorded in the Myrrh oil groupafter 48 hrs. A greater reduction in inflammation from baseline at 48hrs was observed, although there wasno statistically significant difference in gingival inflammation between the groups after1 week (p=0.39).A significantly greater number of fields were observed with score 1 and lesser number of fields with 2 forgram +ve (p<0.001) and gram –ve (p=0.002) bacteria in Myrrh Oil group indicating overall lesser gram+ve and Gram –ve bacterial count in comparison to commercially available Myrrh oil. No adverse effectswere reported by any subject. Conclusion: Myrrh oil when used as an adjunct with scaling and root planningsignificantly reduced the gingival inflammation in 48 hrs and gram-ve bacteria after 1 week.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (Tb) is an infectious disease which usually affects the pulmonary system and sometimes occursin other body organs including the oral cavity. The present article is on a case study of a 25-year femalediagnosed with TB osteomyelitis which presented a non-healing and non-painful ulcer both intra and extraorally. The diagnosis was confirmed based on histopathology. The patient underwent anti-TB therapy andher oral and systemic conditions improved rapidly. Although oral manifestations of tuberculosis are rare,clinicians should include them in the differential diagnosis of various types of oral ulcers. An early diagnosiswith prompt treatment can prevent complications and potential contaminations. Tuberculosis of the oralcavity is rare and have become a forgotten diagnosis of oral lesions. Dental practitioners need to be awarethat TB may occur in the oral cavity and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any ulcerated,indurated non-healing lesion of the oral cavity, especially in lower socioeconomic groups. Besides, effortsshould be made to control oral TB by early detection and referral of the patient to a physician for propermanagement. Clinicians are to be careful about ulcers in disguise.
