The present study was performed to assess the efficacy of triphalacontaining gel and chlorhexidine gel on plaque induced gingivitis patients.A total of 30 subjects, aged from 18 to 50years, with plaque induced gingivitis were selected from the outpatient Department of Periodontology, A J Institute of dental sciences for this study. They were divided randomly into the test or triphala containing gel group (group I) and the control or chlorhexidine gel group (group II) with 15 subjects in each group. The subjects were instructed to massage their gingiva thrice a day for 3 weeks with triphala containing gel (test), and chlorhexidine gel (control). Plaque index and gingival index scores were recorded of 30 subjects at baseline and after 3 weeks. The results showed a significant difference within the group for plaque and gingival indices, from the baseline to 3 weeks. However, difference between group I and group II was not statistically significant with respect to the plaque and gingival indices.
