Natural Relief: Soothing Herbal Remedies for Inflamed Gums

Background: Chronic gingivitis is highly prevalent across all animals. Traditional methods for managing it have proven ineffective, prompting exploration into natural products as adjuncts to mechanical treatment due to their long-term safety profile. Coriandrum sativum, a member of the Apiaceae family, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, and antioxidant qualities. Previous studies have shown that applying extracts of C. sativum alongside non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) effectively reduced periodontal clinical parameters in treating chronic periodontitis. Methodology: Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: group A (control group) received a placebo gel, and group B (test group) received coriander sativum gel. They were instructed to apply the gel twice daily for two weeks. Before and after the two-week period, gingival index and gingival bleeding index were measured. Results: Both the placebo gel and Coriandrum sativum gel significantly reduced gingival indices and gingival bleeding indices (P < 0.001). The placebo gel exhibited greater effectiveness in decreasing both gingival bleeding and gingival indices compared to Coriandrum sativum, although this difference did not reach statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Based On This Study, Coriandrum Sativum Gel Shows Promise İn Reducing gingival indices and may be recommended to patients for managing chronic gingivitis.
