Part I: The aim of this in-vitro part of the study is to formulate a nontoxic mouthwash from
MO leaves extract, having antimicrobial activity, to be used in part II of the study.
Furthermore, stability and efficacy of the developed mouth wash will be evaluated.
Part II: The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the antibacterial,
antiplaque and anticariogenic effect of MO mouthwash compared to chlorhexidine mouthwash.
