$ 45.5
Description
This book presents the formulation and evaluation of a herbal mouthwash prepared using neem (Azadirachta indica) extract as a natural approach to oral health. It discusses the botanical and phytochemical aspects of neem, its potential antimicrobial and oral-health benefits, and the pharmaceutical considerations involved in developing a herbal mouthwash. The work describes in-vitro antibacterial assessment and a clinical assessment involving 30 participants who used the formulation twice daily for 14 days. Laboratory testing showed bacterial growth reduction of up to 60%. After two weeks of use, clinical assessment showed reductions in plaque accumulation and gum bleeding, together with improved breath freshness. The book also covers formulation development, evaluation parameters, quality control, standardization, safety, limitations, and future perspectives of neem-based oral-care formulations.
