All clinical trials that compared the efficacy of curcumin mouthwash with chlorhexidine in controlling dental plaque and gingivitis were included. Data were analysed using Review Manager (RevMan) 5.3\u00a0software. The risk of bias was evaluated by two independent reviewers using the Cochrane assessment tool.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Six randomized clinical trials (comprising 320\u00a0subjects) fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Five studies showed a high risk of bias and only one study showed a low risk of bias. The pooled data of the six included studies revealed comparable efficacy of curcumin and chlorhexidine in reducing dental plaque (I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u00a0=\u00a091%; standardized mean difference [SMD]: 0.27, 95% CI: \u22120.53, 1.07,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00. 51) and gingival inflammation (I<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u00a0=\u00a040%; SMD: \u22120.13, 95% CI: \u22120.35, 0.09,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.24), with no statistically significant differences between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results suggest that curcumin mouthwashes have promising anti\u2010plaque and anti\u2010gingivitis properties.
