This study aimed to prepare an indomethacin mouthwash and evaluate its effects on gingivitis. Researchers prepared a 0.05% indomethacin mouthwash and tested its properties. They administered it to one group of 10 gingivitis patients, while another group received chlorhexidine and a third received water. Gingivitis scores decreased significantly after treatment for the indomethacin and chlorhexidine groups compared to before treatment. The study concluded that indomethacin mouthwash has anti-inflammatory effects and can decrease gingivitis levels.

Introduction: Oral diseases can be greatly controlled by reducing the microbial load in the oral cavity and this can be achieved by maintaining proper oral hygiene.Tooth brushes are the most commonly used oral hygiene aid to promote oral health and prevent dental diseases. The insertion of fixed appliances alters the oral microbiological profile, thus increasing the risk for caries and gingivitis considerably. Aim: To assess the microbial growth of S.Mutans and Lactobacillus between and among the brushes. Setting and Study Design: A Hospital setting and Randomized Control study design Methods:A total of 56 (MB) patients aged 16-26 years received a toothbrush [Regular soft bristle design (group-A) and Orthodontic bristle design (group B)],A sterile gamma radiated pouch and checklist was distributed to each participant. After 2 weeks period the brushes were collected and placed in 5ml saline solution (0.05g Sodium Chloride). The suspension was incubated on selective agar plates and the amount of Streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli for each brush head was assessed. Results:The retention of S.Mutanswas found to be higher in group A, as compared to group B and was found to be statistically more significant between the two groups (P<0.001). The retention of Lactobacillus was also found to be higher in group A, as compared to group B and was found to be statistically significant between the groups (P= 0.001). However, there was no significant difference (P= 0.101) observedamong the microbial growth of S.Mutans and Lactobacillus in two bristle designs. Conclusions: Regular soft bristle design had a higher microbial load than those of subjects using orthodontic bristle design, a more frequent replacement of toothbrushes during t treatment may be advisable. Due to significant differences between the two bristle designs, the orthodontic toothbrush is recommended for patients undergoing orthodontic t appliances

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

ABSTRACT
Aims: to prepare Indomethacin mouth wash and study some of its properties (IR, pH, Density,
Viscosity, Surface tension). Also, the effect on gingival index score were evaluated. Indomethacin
mouth wash was prepared in a concentration of (0.05%) distil water from pure Indomethacin powder.
Methods: The study was carried out on 40 subjects aged (20-30) years old. They were divided into
four groups ten for each, three groups complaining of gingivitis. The gingival index score for all were
measured before and after treatment, treatment involved mechanical treatment by scaling and polishing
at dental clinic and drug treatment in which the first group received Indomethacin mouth wash, second
group received Chlorhexidine mouth wash and third group received distal water as a mouth wash three
times daily for three days, while the fourth group consisted of 10 volunteer subjects without gingivitis.
Data were analyzed using paired t-test, ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple analysis range test.
Results: The results showed that the gingival index score levels were decreased significantly in all
treatment groups between pre and post treatment at the same group. Conclusions: Indomethacin mouth
wash have anti inflammatory effect that can decrease gingival index level.
Key words: Indomethacin, Mouth Wash, Infrared spectroscopy.

INTRODUCTION
Gingivitis: Inflammation of the gums,
characterized by pain, redness, swelling,
and tendency to bleed. The gingival tissues
are normally light pink, although the color
may be related to the complexion of the
person, the thickness of the tissue, and the
degree of keratinization. P
(1)
P The accumula-
tion of microorganisms on the tooth
surface along the gingival margin can alter
the structure and function of the gingiva,
inducing an oral inflammatory reaction;
clinically, this is known as gingivitis. P

non steroidalanti inflammatory drugs
NSAIDs in various forms for more than
3500 years. Despite this long history, the
mechanisms of how NSAIDs achieve their
actions are still not completely unraveled.
(3)
Indomethacin introduced in 1963, is an
indole derivative, it has anti-inflammatory,
analgesic, and antipyretic activity, its non
selective COX inhibitor. (4)
Indomethacin
is indicated for use in rheumatic condi-
tions and is particularly popular for gout
and ankylosing spondylitis in addition, it
has been used to treat patent ductusarteri-
osus. (5)
An ophthalmic preparation seems
to be efficacious for conjunctival inflam-
mation and to reduce pain after traumatic
corneal abrasion. Oral administration of
Indomethacin produces serious gastroin-
testinal adverse effects upon chronic ad-
ministration. (6)
The side effects of Indo-
methacin may include abdominal pain,
diarrhea, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and
pancreatitis. Headache was reported in 15-
25% of patients, associated with confusion
and depression. Rarely psychosis with hal-
lucination has been reported. Hematologic
reactions
including thrombocytopenia and aplastic
anemia. Hyperkalemia has also been
reported and is related to inhibition of the
synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidney.
(7)
Therefore, an alternative route is re-
quired to eliminate these oral adverse ef-
fects. Transdermal route and topical mouth
wash has been known to eliminate oral
adverse effects. (8)
The aims of this study
were to prepare of Indomethacin mouth
wash, study some of its physiochemical
properties (IR, pH, Density, Viscosity,
Surface tension) and also to evaluate its
effect on gingival index score.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Preparation of Indomethacin solution
Indomethacin a weak acid is insoluble
in water, it should be converted in to the
soluble pharmaceutical form, sodium In-
domethacin, by adding the equivalent
amount of Na2CO3 (sodium carbonate)
according to the molecular weight of them
that show bellow: (9)
Material Molecular weight
Indomethacin 357.79
sodium carbonate 106
Preparation of Indomethacin mouth wash
Indomethacin mouth wash was
prepared by mixing (50)mg from Indome-
thacin powder (Ninava Drug Industry) in
(100)ml distilled water and adding
(0.0148)g of sodium carbonate to give a
final concentration of (0.05%) Indometha-
cin mouth wash. Magnetic stirrer was used
to prepare a homogenous clear solution of
sodium Indomethacin. The Indomethacin
mouth wash was kept in a glass, umber
color containers and store at room temper-
ature. (10)
Indomethacin mouth wash pre-
pared freshly and given to the patients.
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR-Fourier
transmittance infrared)
This test measured the vibration of
bonding atoms, the infrared spectra
recorded for Indomethacin powder and for
the precipitate of sodium Indomethacin
was examined by using Bruker Tensor 27
IR spectrophotometer (Germany) in the
region (500-4000 cm) using KBr disc.
This measurement was carried out in
University of Mosul, College of Educa-
tion, Iraq. Sodium Indomethacin powder
was obtained from drying of prepared So-
dium Indomethacin solution at room tem-
perature.
pH
Indomethacin and Chlorhexidine (Cla-
ridine) mouth wash pH was determined by
putting the electrode of pH meter (Ecos-
can/Singapore) inside the tube which con-
tains few milliliters of the tested samples.
The determination of pH value in Indome-
thacin mouth wash was done immediately
after preparation, after three, six and nine
months. Along these time intervals, the
solution is clear, homogenous, and has the
same taste and color density.
Density
The determination of density of the
above samples was done by measuring its

mass per unit volume, in the metric
system, density has units of kg/L or
gm/ml. Water at (40
C) has density of
exactly 1.00 gm/ml. Volumetric flasks
were used in determination of density. (11)
Viscosity
Determination of viscosity of Indome-
thacin and Chlorhexidine mouth wash was
done by using Ostwald viscometer (Eng-
land) which is a simple device and accu-
rate for measuring the viscosity of liquid.
(12)
Surface tension
The determination of surface tension of
the above samples was done by the most
accurate method which consisted of
measuring the height to which the tested
sample rises in a capillary tube. (13)
The
surface tension of a liquid decreases as the
temperature rises, the unit of surface
tension is Dyn/cm or Newton/meter.
Effect of Indomethacin mouth wash on
gingival index score
In this study, we took four groups,
three groups of gingivitis patients
(medically fit, aged 20-30 years, non
smoker and non drinker) of subjects were
participated, each group consist of 10
patients. The gingival index score for all
was measured before and after treatment,
at the same time, treatment involved
mechanical treatment by scaling and
polishing at dental clinic and drug
treatment in which the first group
prescribe Indomethacin mouth wash, the
second group prescribe Chlorhexidine
mouth wash and the third group prescribe
placebo mouth wash (distil water) every 8
hours for three days. The forth group
consisted of 10 volunteer subjects with
good oral hygiene without gingivitis.
Gingival index score: According to the
Gingival index, severity of gingivitis is
assessed separately at the four smooth
surfaces of the teeth, where ever the
gingival margin looked inflamed it is
massage with the side of the periodontal
probe, if this message does not result in
bleeding the unit score 1, if bleeding
occurs, score 2 is giving, ulceration and
spontaneous bleeding score 3. (14)
Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed using paired
t-test, ANOVA test and Duncan's Multiple
analysis range test, the level of signific-
ance was at p<0.05. (15)
RESULTS
The vibrational response showed in
Figure (1) of pure Indomethacin powder
when passed via an infrared beam, while
Figure (2) represents the vibrational
response of precipitate of Sodium
Indomethacin, the results in Figure (1) and
(2) showed there are identical diagram for
Indomethacin powder and for Precipitate
of Sodium Indomethacin, this means that
they have the same chemical structure.
Evaluation of the pH of Indomethacin
mouth wash was done immediately after
preparation, after three, six and nine
months showed (7.51, 7.55, 7.45, 7.21)
respectively, for Chlorhexidine the pH
results was (6.9, 6.88, 6.80, 6.60)
respectively and for Distilled water the pH
results was (7.40, 7.42, 7.38, 7.02)
respectively, Table (1). The Density of
Indomethacin, Chlorhexidine and Distilled
water mouth washes was measured and the
results (0.991, 1.029, 1) g/cm3
respectively, the Viscosity for them
(0.991, 1.029, 1) poise. respectively, and
the Surface tension for them (65.55, 31.76,
70.56) dyn/cm respectively. Table (2),

Effect of Indomethacin mouth wash
on gingival index score: The results
showed that the gingival index score levels
were decreased significantly in the
Indomethacin, Chlorhexidine and Distilled
water groups between pre treatment
(1.76+0.38), (1.4+0.16), (1.48+0.30) re-
spectively and post treatment (1.12+0.30),
(0.75+0.37), (1.12+0.34) respectively at
the same group. Table (5), Figure (3). Ac-
cording to the Table (7), there were signi-
ficance difference between post treatment
effect of Indomethacin and Chlorhexidine,
and that Chlorhexidine had lead to a better
control of gingivitis score. Table (6), Ta-

DISCUSSION
FTIR spectroscopy: In Figure (1) we
see the peak characteristic for the
carboxylic acid dimer (1713cm-1) of
amorphous Indomethacin, and for sodium
Indomethacin in Figure (2) dimer peak has
been eliminated. Also, absent in the
shoulder at (1732cm-1) that occurs be-
cause of the vibration of the non-hydrogen
bonded carbonyl on the end of the chain.
Indeed, even in the anhydrous and trihy-
drate crystal form sodium Indomethacin
also lacked any peaks associated with di-
mer formation, as found in various forms
of Indomethacin. The ionization of the
carboxyl group and its electrostatic inte-
raction with sodium ion would be ex-
pected to interfere with such dimer forma-
tion. (16)
The result obtained from the present
study about the effect of Indomethacin
mouth wash to reduce gingival index score
and improve the gingival tissue condition
may be returned to the mechanism of
action of Indomethacin as a potent
nonselective COX inhibitor and may
inhibit phospholipase A and C, reduce
neutrophil migration and decrease T cell
and B cell proliferation. (4)
Gingival in-
flammation is reduced after administration
of Indomethacin oral rinse.(5, 17)
These
findings suggest that preparation of so-
dium Indomethacin mouth wash and use it
in a concentration of 50mg/100ml is a new
approach to attenuate topical inflammatory
condition, and it has an important impact
in order to create an effective and inexpen-
sive oral health intervention for low so-
cioeconomic communities, in this study
the mechanical treatment with Indometha-
cin mouth wash, Chlorhexidine mouth
wash reduce the gingival index score in
all treatment groups and reduce the gingi-
vitis. After preparation of Indomethacin
mouth wash and study some of its proper-
ties, the pH of prepared mouth wash was
nearby to Chlorhexidine and still the pH
almost constant even with long period of
preparation, this indicates that Indometha-
cin mouth wash was pH stable even in
long period. These results are in agreement
with several studies that have shown that
the chewing stick is as or more effective
than the toothbrush in reducing plaque and
gingivitis. (18)
Moreover, the results of
another study confirm that Salvadorapersi-
camiswak use has a significant effect on
dental plaque. Therefore, Salvadorapersi-
camiswak can be used as a dental hygiene
method in combination with interproximal
cleaning aides. (19)
Also, the results of this
study agreed with previous study that
found 0.19% Azadirachtaindica (neem)
has significant anti-inflammatory property,
thus it can be used as adjunct to
mechanical therapy for treating plague
induced gingivitis. (20)
Another study sug-
gest that the clinical benefits of anti-
plaque, antigingivitis mouth rinses are
similar to the benefits of oral prophylaxis
and oral hygiene instructions at six month
recall appointments. (21)
In the present
study, the use of Chlorhexidine reduces
gingival index score, this result agreement
with previous study suggested that in
gingivitis patients, Chlorhexidine mouth
rinses together with oral hygiene versus
placebo, or control mouth rinse provide
significant reductions in plaque and
gingivitis scores, but a significant increase
in staining score. (22)
The present study,
found that Indomethacin mouth wash and
Chlorhexidine mouth wash have the same
efficacy as a mouth wash from study of
their effect on gingivitis patient and the
two mouth wash have the ability to reduce
gingival index score.
CONCLUSION
Although only a small number of an-
ti-inflammatory mouth wash agents are
available for use in local conditions. The
obtained results demonstrate that the topi-
cal Indomethacin mouth wash may pro-
vide clinicians with a new option in the
battle against gingival inflammation.
