Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial prophylactic activity of pomegranate juice as a preprocedural rinse. Objective: The study was done to analyze whether pomegranate provided prophylaxis in reducing the bacterial load when compared to the gold standard chlorhexidine mouthwash as a pre-procedural rinse. Background: The growing resistance to various antibiotics has lead scientists to look for newer medications. As fruits are a part of our daily diet, evaluating their medicinal and prophylactic properties has gained momentum. Fruits such as pomegranate, guava, and apple have an inhibitory effect on the oral bacterial flora. Materials and Methods: The study was done by dividing the patients undergoing scaling treatment into two groups, namely A and B. A was the control group which was advised on chlorhexidine mouthwash before the procedure, whereas B was the study group who were advised to rinse with pomegranate juice. Salivary samples were collected pre and post of the mouth rise, and culture was prepared from these samples. The colony-forming units were counted and the comparison was made. The study was done using simple methods of evaluation for better understanding of the prophylactic activity of pomegranate.
