Abstract :

Periodontal diseases are the most prevalent illnesses in Mexico (over 50% of the geriatric population), there are several types of periodontal disease: localized, and generalized, which include from periodontal inflammation to tooth loss if the geriatric patient is not attended promptly. Periodontal diseases are multifactorial such as systemic illnesses, secondary actions for drugs, type of diet, poor oral hygiene which favors the reproduction of periodontal pathogenic flora. Mouthwash was used based on oak bark. It was found that it reduces periodontal pathogenic flora and opportunistic microorganisms. In some types of bacteria, the agent was eliminated up to 60% (p <0.001) lowering thereby post-operative recovery time regarding healing of the periodontal tissues of the participant patients.
