Clinical evaluation was undertaken using a gingival index, plaque was assessed using a modification of the Quigley\u2010Hein index, and microbiologic counts were assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. A subjective evaluation was also undertaken by questionnaire.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Toothpaste containing aloe vera showed significant improvement in gingival and plaque index scores as well as microbiologic counts compared with placebo dentifrice.
