Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of mouthwash with ginger(Zingiberofficinale)
and rose(Rosa damascena).
Methods: Rose and ginger extraction was performed using cold water and hot water. The concentration gradient of
extracts was prepared using egg albumin and phosphate-buffered saline. The extract was incubated in a water bath at
37°C for 15 min and was heated at 70°C for 5 min. One nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and one steroid were used as
reference drugs. The percentage inhibition of protein denaturation was calculated.
Results: The inhibition rate of egg albumin denaturation for water extraction increased gradually with concentration.
Significantly higher inhibition of rose and ginger mouthwash at the concentration of 50μl.
Conclusion: The Ginger and rose mouthwash has an anti-inflammatory property with an increase concentration in egg
albumin denaturation method and showed significantly more potent effect.
