Activity of Mouthwashes Againgst Entamoeba Spp.

"For collection of plaque two different gingival sites are selected for sampling in each participant. Prior to sampling, supragingival plaque is removed with a sterile instrument. Subgingival plaque is then collected from the same site using a sterile Gracey curette.~Saliva samples are collected using a commercially available saliva collection kit (Sallivete®, SARSTEDT AG, Germany). Participants should open the Sallivete® tube, remove the synthetic swab, and place it in their mouth for 1-2 minutes, ensuring it moves around to facilitate optimal saliva collection while avoiding chewing."

Participants use the commercial mouthwash octenident (cosmetic) twice daily after their normal dental routine for 30 seconds for consecutive seven days
