EFFECT OF DHANYAMLA GANDOOSHA WITH TILAKALKA IN DANTAHARSHA
Abstract
Background and objectives: Dentinal hypersensitivity is a persistent dental problem frequently encountered by the dentists. Although many advances have occurred in modern dentistry, the requirements for an ideal dentin desensitizing agent are not yet fulfilled. In comparison to the costly and invasive treatments of modern dentistry, Tila(black sesame seed) is natural, cost effective, easily available, without any side effects and has structural benefits to the teeth. Dhanyamla, when used as gandoosha, improves oral hygiene. The formulation specifically mentioned fordantaharsha in mukharogachikitsa chapter of Arogya Raksha Kalpadruma was selected as the intervention. Materials and Methods: For this study, 30 subjects satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria from OPD and IPD of Govt Ayurveda College Tripunithura, were subjected toDhanyamlaGandooshawith Tilakalka for 1month. 12g oftilakalka mixed with 150ml of lukewarm dhanyamla was divided into 3 parts 50ml each/according to the subject’s mouth capacity and the subjects were asked to hold this gandoosha after brushing in the morning. The subjective and objective parameters were assessed before and after treatment and on the follow up period. The data collected were statistically analysed. Results and discussion:Majority of the subjects had teeth sensitivity towards cold and sour than sweet, hot and touch. The intervention showed extremely significant result with p value<0.001 in reducing the teeth sensitivity to sweet, sour, touch and cold (15 degree and 20 degree) and highly significant result with p value <0.01in reducing the teeth sensitivity to hot (30 degree and 35 degree).
