Comparative evaluation of guava leaf extract and chlorhexidine mouthwash in plaque-induced gingivitis: A clinical and computational approach.

A randomised controlled trial compared guava leaf extract mouthwash with chlorhexidine as adjuncts to professional scaling for plaque-induced gingivitis. Both mouthwashes similarly reduced plaque and gingival scores over 28 days, with computational analysis suggesting guava's active compounds may be effective against *P. gingivalis*.
