BACKGROUND: Gingivitis is the most common and prevalent form of periodontal disease among children and adolescents. The incidence and severity increase from childhood to adolescence. Gingivitis is a reversible inflammatory condition that may precede periodontitis [3]. The continuous accumulation of microbial biofilm due to impaired or poor oral hygiene results in the clinical manifestations of gingivitis. The characteristic swelling associated with gingivitis is a direct result of the host response to biofilm microbes and their antigenicity. Gingival therapy is directed at controlling and reducing etiological factors, such as microbial biofilms and dental calculus which, in turn, allows healing of the gingival tissues. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Mimusops Elengi gel in the treatment of chronic gingivitis.
