Formulation and Evaluation of Clove Oil-Based Mouthwash

Abstract

Mouthwash is a therapeutic liquid retained in the mouth and swished by the perioral muscle to remove oral pathogens. The current study aims to develop, test, and assess Mouthwash's efficacy against the oral cavity's microbial burden. For making Mouthwash, clove oil, thymol, and menthol were chosen, and the finished product was then tested for antibacterial activity against a staphylococcus aureus culture. Physical characteristics, including pH, color, odor, and stability, are further assessed. The current Mouthwash has strong antibacterial properties. In a variety of temperature conditions, this preparation remains stable. Current Mouthwash is a liquid formulation that often has antiseptic and antibacterial properties. This solution can lessen halitosis and bacteria development in the oral cavity.
