In a double-blind RCT of 60 teeth with deep carious lesions, Kabil et al. (2017) restored the teeth with glass ionomer cement (GIC) that was incorporated either with miswak or chlorhexidine. GIC incorporated with distilled water was used as a control. Restoration survival, defined by the shrinking of the defects after 3, 6, and 9months were evaluated. The differences between groups were statistically significant at 6 and 9months with the highest degree of restoration survival was found with the use of miswak cement, followed by chlorhexidine cement, and finally the control cement. This finding reinforced the hypothesis of remineralization effects of miswak following dental caries. Tabatabaei, F.S., Moezizadeh, M., Javand, F., 2015.

[ PMC free article] [ PubMed] Al-Bayaty et al. (2010) conducted a cross over double-blind RCT of 10 dental students aged 22years old to compare the efficacy of ethanolic extract of miswak compared to chlorhexidine. Distilled water was used as a negative control mouthwash. However, miswak treatment demonstrated higher plaque index when compared to the chlorhexidine group ( Al-Bayaty et al. 2010b). Another study that compared miswak and chlorhexidine mouthwash in terms of plaque status following orthodontic intervention also did not observe any difference between the groups. The study was a single-blind RCT of 54 patients who had fixed orthodontic treatment for four months. The plaque reduction effect in both miswak and chlorhexidine was significant in comparison to the placebo mouthwash, suggesting that miswak can serve as a replacement of the synthetic chemical agent, chlorhexidine in orthodontic patients ( Sobouti et al., 2018).

Thus, the authors supported the use of miswak ( Salvadora persica) as a preventive measure for controlling oral infections.Anticariogenic effects Balto H.A., Al-Manei K.K., Bin-Mohareb T.M., Shakoor Z.A., Al-Hadlaq S.M.

It’s no secret that miswak is an all-natural alternative to commercial oral hygiene products. It’s sometimes best to go natural as most natural products provide more benefits with lesser side effects. Moreover, miswak is bio-degradable, making it a more environment-friendly option than the plastic toothbrush. 7.Saves money Alfadaly, N., Kassab, A., & Al Hedaithy, F. (2016).
