Abstract

Gingivitis is a common periodontal problem among university students and is closely associated with dental plaque accumulation. Although 0.2 percent chlorhexidine is effective as an antiplaque agent, long-term use may cause staining, dysgeusia, and mucosal irritation. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) with other herbal mouthwashes for plaque control and gingivitis management. A Systematic Literature Review using narrative meta-synthesis was conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 protocol. Literature searches were performed in PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus for publications from 2019 to 2024. From 1,247 initial records, 24 primary studies met the inclusion criteria based on the PICO framework. The synthesis showed that VCO through oil pulling reduced the Plaque Index by 20 to 52 percent and the Gingival Index by 18 to 47 percent from baseline. Neem, tea tree oil, Aloe vera, and green tea mouthwashes demonstrated effectiveness comparable to chlorhexidine, with better safety profiles. No head-to-head study directly compared VCO and herbal mouthwashes within one integrated design. These findings support herbal agents as promising adjunctive interventions in preventive dentistry for high-risk student populations.

Abstract

Hypertension remains one of the foremost contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dietary-based preventive measures have increasingly emerged as a pivotal approach to blood pressure management, including the utilization of polyphenolic compounds such as catechins. Catechins have attracted considerable attention as a prospective nutritional intervention for blood pressure regulation. This literature review was undertaken to synthesize scientific evidence concerning the influence of catechins on blood pressure by examining studies retrieved from the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using the keywords “catechin”, “blood pressure”, and “hypertension”. Findings derived from five selected studies indicate that catechins may facilitate blood pressure reduction through multiple physiological pathways, including the enhancement of nitric oxide bioavailability, improvement of endothelial performance, attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, as well as modulation of neural regulatory mechanisms. Although the majority of investigations reported favorable outcomes, the magnitude of catechin efficacy appeared to be contingent upon dosage, molecular form, duration of intake, and participant characteristics. Consequently, the application of catechins as a potential nutritional strategy for hypertension management warrants careful dosage consideration and further validation through long-term investigations.
