ABSTRACT

A cuasi experimental, parallel, controlled with placebo study was done (distilled water, 87% denatured alcohol, and vegetal coloring) about the action of rinses with Echinacea angustifolia 2D (1mL = 20 drops diluted in 10 mL of water) in Simple Gingivitis, in 61 students: 30 females and 21 males between eight and thirteen years old. Collutories were made three times per day for 14 days after their dental brushing, it was suggested to keep this solution inside the mouth for 60 seconds, do not eat or drink 30 minutes after its application. A significant improvement was seen in the grades of Gingivits and the percentage of plaque in comparison with the placebo, the Echinacea angustifolia showed superior eliminating 19 out of 31 cases for Simple Gingivitis and reduced the grade of Gingivitis in 12 cases, the placebo group did not show any changes. Regarding the percentage of plaque in the experimental group it was reduced 97% from 80% to 33%, in the placebo group it was reduced 11% from 78% to 67%.
