The objective of the study was to assess the short\u2010term effect of 30%\n \n Ocimum basilicum<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:styled-content>\n (OB) and 0.2% Chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwashes on gingival health and plaque control when used as an adjunct to toothbrushing in patients with plaque\u2010induced gingivitis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methodology<\/jats:title>\n \n A parallel\u2010arm, double\u2010blinded, randomised controlled trial was conducted among 70 adult patients. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: 30% OB mouthwash group (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200935) and 0.2% CHX mouthwash group (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200935) by the lottery method. Both participants and the examiner were blinded throughout the study period. The gingival index, plaque index and adverse effects were recorded at baseline, 7th and 21st day. Unpaired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010tests and repeated measures ANOVA tests were utilised to compare the mean gingival and plaque scores between the groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Both groups exhibited a gradual and significant reduction in both gingival and plaque scores from baseline to days 7 and 21 (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001). However, the CHX group showed a significant reduction in GI (0.48\u2009\u00b1\u20090.18) and PI (0.59\u2009\u00b1\u20090.14) from baseline to 21\u2009days, respectively when compared to the OB group GI (0.72\u2009\u00b1\u20090.22) and PI (0.77\u2009\u00b1\u20090.19).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n OB mouthwash demonstrated non\u2010inferiority in anti\u2010gingivitis and anti\u2010plaque properties compared to CHX mouthwash, suggesting its potential suitability as an alternative to CHX when used alongside mechanical plaque control measures in the management of gingivitis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n \n ClinicalTrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>\n identifier: CTRI\/2022\/07\/044104\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/idh.70017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]],"date-time":"2025-12-10T04:28:40Z","timestamp":1765340920000},"page":"188-196","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical Effectiveness of\n \n Ocimum basilicum<\/i>\n <\/scp>\n Mouthwash as an Adjunct to Toothbrushing in Managing Patients With Plaque\u2010Induced Gingivitis: A Randomised Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8342-0323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Atrey J.","family":"Pai Khot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"},{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry Goa Dental College and Hospital Bambolim Goa India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2433-2686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anu Sara","family":"Varghese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7776-5763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anil V.","family":"Ankola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8680-8857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roopali M.","family":"Sankeshwari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7046-0403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vinuta","family":"Hampiholi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7431-7401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kishori P.","family":"Sutar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutics, KLE College of Pharmacy KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6183-4872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prajakta J.","family":"Chavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7866-6038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ram Surath","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, KLE Vishwanath Katti Institute of Dental Sciences KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research Belagavi Karnataka India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.14436"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","volume-title":"Global Oral Health Status Report: Towards Universal Health Coverage for Oral Health by 2030","author":"Organization WH","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.14516"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jobcr.2020.10.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","volume-title":"StatPearls","author":"Gasner N.
