Clinical study on the therapeutic effects of Quercus infectoria galls as oral powder in gingivitis and plaque patients

Abstract

Gingivitis is a nondestructive disease that causes inflammation of the gums and is one of the most common
periodontal diseases. The cause of inflammation is bacterial bovillomatosis, known as the plaque, on the
surface of the teeth. The plaque is the main cause of periodontal disease; if left untreated, gingivitis can
develop into inflammation of the tooth, where inflammation of the gums destroys the bones, causes tissue
erosion around the teeth and can lead to loss of tooth. Q. infectoria were applied topically to ten people aged
25-55 who were suffering from gingivitis and plaque. Diagnoses and follow-up treatment were performed in
a dental clinic under the supervision of a dentist for a period of two weeks. We noted the great efficacy of the
herb against gingivitis and plaque. The progress of plaque measured in terms of mean, population standard
deviation and variance were 0.66 , 0.17, 0.02 before treatment and 0.29, 0.12, 0.01 after treatment. Gingival
progress before and after treatment were 0.72 , 0.15 , 0.02 and 0.32 , 0.11 , 0.01 , respectively. According
to results were due to the fact that Q. infectoria contain large amounts of tannin and other compounds that
constrict vessels and tissues and are effective against various types of infections. Therefore, we recommend
them as an alternative to antibiotics. Effectiveness of Q. infectoria as an effective substance to inhibit the
growth of oral bacteria and thus act as an anti-inflammatory and retention of gum tissue where the substance
was tested directly on patients have Plaque and gingivitis and we can recommend them as an alternative to
antibiotics
