Cardiovascular disease is a silent- killer of a major portion of urban population. Cardiovascular diseases are presenting the leading cause of death in developed countries accounting for 70-75% of total deaths. The cost of this disease in terms of human suffering and material resources is enormous. Fortunately many advances in research to find out the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac diseases are progressing rapidly.

A heart attack is the first recognized sign of heart disease in 20-40 % patients. All the major cardiovascular risk factors greatly contribute to coronary diseases. Coronary heart disease (CHD) affects the blood vessels of heart and also other major organs like the brain (cerebrovascular disease), kidneys and extremities. CHD is the most common of heart diseases and the single most important cause of death in developed countries. The causes of CHD are multifactorial and include smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, etc. Therefore, prevention of these causative factors plays an important role in the management of CHD.

In the last few years there have been revolutionary changes in treating cardiac diseases. Heartogen is a herbo-mineral formulation that can be safely used as a long-term prophylactic therapy in cardiac disease.

• Acute oral toxicity studies proved that Heartogen is free from toxicity even at a dose of 6,000mg/kg wt. which is the maximum possible dose.
• It was evaluated for its cardio-protective action which established that Heartogen acts through the inhibition of apoptosis (cell death) and oxidative damage. It enhances the resistance of myocardial membrane structure against the iso-proterenol induced myocardial damages. The latest study provides evidence for protective effects of Heartogen on myocardium in experimentally induced myocardial infarction (major heart attack).

• Accelerates the fat metabolism naturally and reduces the accumulation of fat in the adipose tissues.
• Protects the patient from the complications of obesity like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteo-arthrosis, hypercholestremia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, gall stones.
• Prevents fatty infiltration of vital organs.

HERBO-TRIM is the result of intensive research work.

• Experimental studies have proved highly significant reduction of Total Cholesterol, LDL, Triglycerides, atherogenic index and increase in HDL, indicating promising results of Herbotrim as hypo-cholesteremic drug.
• Histopathology of hyper-cholesteremic rat indicates lesion with abnormal overlying endothelium and desquamation. Observation of tissues also showed cholesterol deposits and fatty infiltration. Herbotrim treated rats showed neither infiltration and cholesterol deposit, nor desquamation indicating good protection.
• Acute toxicity study carried out as per Globally Harmonized system has proved the tablets as absolutely safe even at high doses.

Abnormal accumulation of fat in the stores of adipose tissue throughout the body is called Obesity. Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in affluent society. Obesity requires constant emphasis, not only because of the excess mortality it carries, but also because of numerous complications such as diabetes mellitus. It reduces the efficiency of those affected and it is frequently associated with emotional and other psychological disturbances.

Athero-sclerosis is another major complication associated with obesity. Elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are known to cause athero-sclerosis. The risk of IHD is also more in obese patients. Hence the therapy for atherosclerosis & other complications should aim at reducing the obesity & the lipid contents of the blood.

Studies have shown that a reduction in plasma cholesterol does infect reduce the risk of myocardial infection. Some ancient herbs like Guggulu, Shilajith, when combined with other herbs, and when used along a proper Ayurvedic diet, cause a significant reduction in body weight and also reduction in lipid content of the blood. The treatment of obesity has been described in ancient ayurvedic classics and Muniyal Ayurvedic research centre, with the extensive study based on ancient classics has formulated ‘Herbotrim’ for the treatment of obesity.

Body weight is tightly regulated and a small change in the energy balance is all that is required to cause weight gain. Daily excess of 100 K.cal. (a small chocolate bar or one chapathi) would result in 4 kg weight gain in one year. Even modest weight loss of 10% is clinically beneficial.

Mechanical Disability: Flat Feet and Osteoarthrosis of the knee, hips & lumbar spine are more in obese patients.

Metabolic Disorders: Obesity may be associated with an elevated level of cholesterol & triglycerides in the blood. Obese are more prone to develop Gall-Stones. Association of obesity and diabetes mellitus is well established. Govt afflicts the obese more commonly than others.

Cardiovascular Disorders: Obese persons suffer from hypertension more commonly than those of normal weight, along with Artherosclerosis, Angina Pectoris and Cardiac Failure.

Especially the autoimmune disorders like RA have no curative treatment in modern medicine. Incidences of joint diseases like RA and OA still remain high in the community, disabling the patients. Now it is well understood that, autoimmune disorders like (RA), metabolic diseases (Gout) and degenerative diseases (OA) can be effectively controlled only by Ayurvedic medicines.

There are various drugs and formulations mentioned in this regard in our classics. Experimental studies on different arthritic models and clinical evaluations are successfully carried out. Considering all these research works and classical references, the drugs have been selected to prepare an excellent formulation, MUNIPYRIN, for various arthritic conditions which really give wonderful result.

Usually the white blood cells help the body to fight against harmful bacteria and viruses. On some occasions the immune system fights against the healthy body tissues. For Example, in Rheumatism & Arthritis, where blood cells accumulate at the joints and fight against the healthy tissues, resultant of which there will be inflammation and pain. MUNIPYRIN corrects this kind of misbehavior of the body’s immune system and reduces pain and inflammation naturally and permanently without causing any side effects.

“Comparative evaluation of efficacy of use of Munident and toothbrush with toothpaste on salivary streptococcus mutans count and gingival health of children- an invivo study ”

ABSTRACT :

Aim – Dental caries is a multifactorial disease which has a deleterious effect on the oral cavity . Improper oral hygiene habits is a cause for the same . The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial efficacy of Munident , an ayurvedic dentrifice with commercially available toothpaste .
Material and method-  A total of 40 students of the age group 9-12 years who were resident of Bala Yeshu Nilaya Bhavan , Mangalore were chosen .They were divided into two groups .Group 1 (control group ) and group 2 ( study group) . The DMFT scores noted and divided into two groups consisting of 20 students each . Group I was instructed to brush using toothpaste and toothbrush and group II was instructed to brush using munident and toothbrush and their gingival bleeding index was noted pre and post rinse . Also salivary streptococcus mutans count was noted pre and post rinse .The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis .

Results – the herbal dentrifice showed better efficacy in comparison to toothpaste
Conclusion – Usage of herbal dentrifice has similar antibacterial effect as conventional toothpaste . Hence the practice of using dentrifice with natural ingredients should be encouraged.
Key  words – Munident, toothpaste ,toothbrush.

INTRODUCTION :

Dental caries is one of the most common infectious microbial diseases of the world since ages .It has an increased incidence in the recent years due to varied changes in lifestyle habits. Caries is avoidable by simple inexpensive and easy to practice personal hygiene habits . Most effective is the tooth brushing habit 1.Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentrifice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of our teeth promoting oral hygiene . Presently we are using a lot of commercial toothpaste which contains many chemical compounds like sodium lauryl sulfate which is harmful to gum. An alternative option to this is chewable tablets  2.

An upsurge of herbal products in various catalogues of fast moving consumer goods is evident . Ayurveda Science is one of the great legacies of Indian antiquity . Since last two decades , the interest in alternative medical system is increasing in all over the world . Ayurveda the way of life is getting attention not only from the common people of country but from the global scientific community also.Ayurveda laid a great deal of emphasis upon the preservation and promotion of positive health , which is the primary objective , whereas prevention and cure of disease only secondary 3.Traditional medicine is the sum total of knowledge , skills and practices based on theories , beliefs and experiences indigenious to different cultures that are used to maintain health as well as to prevent , diagnose , improve or treat physical and mental illness .

In Ayurveda , dental health ( danta swasthya in Sanskrit ) is held to be very individualistic , varying with each persons constitution ( prakriti) and climatic changes resulting from solar , lunar and planetary influences (kala- parinama) 4.

Mechanical plaque removal is one of the most accepted methods of controlling plaque and gingivitis. But it is expected that less than one-third of the population can effectively perform mechanical plaque removal. Several chemical preventive agents have beneficial effects in the control of plaque and to reduce or prevent oral disease. Hence, various chemical formulations were tried in dentifrices. Chemicals, mainly triclosan and chlorhexidine, have been added in mouth rinses and dentifrices to prevent plaque and gingivitis.

Our aim of work – To evaluate the use a toothpowder, Munident made  of purely natural ingredients which does not contain any chemical compounds or artificial colours, sweetners , preservatives that harm our tooth as well as buccal cavity.

MATERIAL AND METHOD

The study was initiated after obtaining  consent from the orphanage and ethical clearance from the institute (IEC/Rev/25/2015-2016) .40 healthy children in the age group of 9- 12 years were selected from Bala Yeshu Nilaya orphanage of Mangalore city .The study and treatment protocol was explained in detail to the parents and the child and informed consent was obtained for the same .

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

1.  Systemically healthy subjects.
2. Atleast 3 restored/decayed and/or missing teeth(dmft/DMFT)

EXCLUSION CRITERIA :

1. Children who cannot expectorate completely.
2. Children who could not brush their teeth on their own.
3. Children with a history of taking antibiotics 3 months prior to and during the study period.
4. Children undergoing orthodontic treatment or with an intraoral prosthesis.
5. Presence of any intra oral pathology.
6. Medically compromised children.

They  were selected based on the inclusion criteria and divided into two groups .The gingival bleeding index was noted prior to collection of saliva using periodontal probe .Each tooth was divided into four parts – Disto facial papilla, Midfacial papilla , Mesiofacial papilla , entire lingual gingival margin and scored according to Gingival index ( Loe and Silness, 1967 ).

SIMPLIFIED ORAL HYGIENE INDEX:

Simplified(OHI-S index) Index was described by John C Greene and Jack R Vermillion in 1964.
Instruments: mouth mirror and explorer.
Teeth selected:16,11,26,36,31,46.
Surface examined:
4 posterior and 2 anterior teeth,buccal surface of selected upper molar and lingual surface of selected lower molar.

Criteria for classifying debris:
Score 0-  no debris or stains.
Score 1-  soft debris covering not more than 1/3rd of the tooth surface, or  presence of extrinsic stains without other debris regardless of surface area covered.
Score 2- soft debris covering more than 1/3rd , but not more than 2/3rd of exposed tooth surface.
Score 3- soft debris covering more than 2/3rd of exposed tooth surface.
Criteria for classifying calculus.
Score 0-  no calculus present.
Score 1- supragingival calculus covering not more than 1/3rd of the exposed tooth surface.
Score 2- supragingival calculus covering more than 1/3rd but not more than 2/3rd of the exposed tooth surface or the presence of individual flecks of subgingival calculus around the cervical portion of the tooth or both
Score 3- supragingival calculus covering more than 2/3rd of the exposed tooth surface or the continuous heavy band of subgingival calculus around the cervical portion of the tooth or both.
OHI-S  score for each individual is calculated by,the debris and calculus scores are totaled and divided by the nimber of tooth surfaced scored.
Average of each individual debris and calculus i.e simplified debris index (DI-S) and simplified calculus index(CI-S) will be scored from range of 0-3.
Good- 0.0 – 0.6
Fair- 0.7-1.8
Poor- 1.9-3.0
Sum of the DI-S and CI-S will give the OHI-S values ranging from 0-6.
Good- 0.0 – 1.2
Fair- 1.3-3.0
Poor- 3.1-6.0

The children in the first group were asked to brush dialy using toothbrush and toothpaste which was provided to them . The children in the second group was asked to brush with munident which is available in the form of a tablet . The children were instructed to crush the tablet and add two drops of water and use it with tooth brush for a month .

A base-line non-stimulated whole salivary sample (2 ml) was collected in the morning    by  -asking the patient to drool passively into a sterile plastic bottle for 5 minutes. Subjects were informed in advance not to eat or drink (except water) one hour before saliva collection to minimize possible food debris and stimulation of saliva. The samples collected in sterile bottles will be carried in the ice box containing ice (used as transport media).The. Samples were tested for the number of colony forming units for Streptococcus Mutans using Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin agar.

Laboratory procedure

The sample was vortexed to uniformly mix the saliva and media using a Cyclo mixer. Using an inoculation loop (standard loop with 4mm diameter) 10?L of the vortexed sample was streaked in duplicate on Mitis Salivarius Bacitracin agar selective for Streptococcus mutans. Themitis salivarius agar plates were incubated in aerobic conditions for 48hrs at 37 degree Celsius in an incubator.The plates were opened after 48 hrs. The counts were made of colonies with morphologic characteristics ofstreptococcus mutans (0.5 mm raised convex undulated.

colonies of light blue color with rough margins, granularfrosted glass appearance)4 on the plates using a magnifying lens and were expressed as number of colony forming units (CFU) per/ml of saliva (Figure 1). Semiquantitation of the number of colonies was done by multiplying the actual colony count with 1×103 as the sample was diluted one thousand times (1:5 dilution). The Baseline scores were noted.

The statistical analysis used was paired t test to assess the gingival bleeding index and streptococcus mutans count was assessed using Mann Whitney U test .
RESULTS- A total of 40 children participated in the study . At baseline Group 1 had had a mean Streptococcus mutans count of 73800 counts/ml and group II  75608counts /ml. When Man whitney U test was performed, the p value was not significant. Hence it can be inferred that the statistic difference was not significant. (Table 1)
The gingival bleeding index in group 1  pre rinse was  1.8050 using toothpaste and using munident was 1.5450, p value (0.008) has significance. (Table 2 ) The gingival bleeding index post rinse  was 1.6700 using toothpaste and 1.4300 using munident , p value (0.009) has significance .

DISCUSSION :

Dental caries being a multifactorial disease process requires a multimodal approach to treatment and control. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of herbal dentrifice in control of plaque and gingivitis . The study compared a herbal toothpowder Munident with a standard control. Both Munident and toothpaste were found to be useful in effectively reducing the Streptococcus Mutans  count  and gingival bleeding index score after usage for 30 days.
By comparing the change score between the two groups, it can be said that the difference in score of Munident  group was slightly more than that in positive control group, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) and thus superiority cannot be claimed. However, it can be said that Munident  was as effective as that of positive control group in reducing score of Streptococcus mutans and gingival index. The strength of the study was its randomized controlled design.

Using natural medicines to cure various diseases has become an increasing trend. Herbal medicine has made significant contribution to modern medical practice . the practice of using natural products should be widened  to reduce the side effects and to ensure a good oral hygiene .
CONCLUSION :
India being a country where use of  traditional medicine is accepted widely  . The practice of using dentrifice like Munident which is made of natural ingredients should be encouraged  keeping the potential benefits in mind .Publicity of its use using appropriate media would benefit the general population by giving more confidence in the ancient practices , thus preventing tooth decay and loss.
