Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Propolis alcohol-free mouthwash containing 5% green propolis (MGP 5%) on the control of plaque and gingivitis.	Drug: chlorhexidine Twenty-five subjects, both male and female, were chosen after signing the terms of agreement.The subjects went through a dental prophylaxis before starting rinse. They were then instructed to rinse twice a day for a minute, immediately after brushing (morning and night), using the 10 ml of the MGP 5%. After 45 and 90 days using the product the individuals returned for a clinical evaluation which considered changes in the soft and hard oral tissues and involved collecting plaque and gingivitis indexes. On their last appointment the subjects answered a questionnaire about their level of appreciation and acceptability of the mouthwash

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

Chemical characterization of propolis by HPLC (High-performance liquid chromatography) [ Time Frame: 8-12 weeks ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

PRELIMINARY EVIDENCE OF THE EFFICACY OF A MOUTHWASH CONTAINING 5% PROPOLIS FOR THE CONTROL OF PLAQUE AND GINGIVITIS [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
After 45 and 90 days using Propolis or chlorhexidine at home, the individuals will return for a clinical evaluation. Alterations in gingival conditions will be analyzed ,both points of comparison products will be based on the Plaque Index of Quigley-Hein and modified gingival index of Loe-Silness modified as scores for the corresponding gravity, being a non-parametric distribution, will be compared by analysis of covariance, by Friedman test for those data to be obtained and analysed the use efficacy after 45 and 90 days.
