    Microbiological Study of Indigenous Mouth Wash (Gandusha) for Periodontal Diseases
    (1st International Conference and Exhibition in Indigenous Medicine – ICEIM – 2018, Organized by Indigenous Medicine, Eastern Province with the collaboration of Unit of Siddha Medicine, Trincomalee Campus, Eastern University of Sri Lanka, 2018) Peiris, K.P.P.; Samaranayake, G.V.P.; Dewasurendra, D.M.W.
    Gandusha is clinically effective in the management of periodontal diseases. This study is an in-vitro analysis on determining the antimicrobial efficacy of this drug using standard Antimicrobial Sensitivity Test against a fungal culture isolated from a patient. The test was performed according to the Well diffusion method having 6mm diameter wells on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Each well was loaded with the test drug mixed in 20gl of sterile distilled water and fluconazole 2.5mg / ml was used as the positive control. According to the results the test drug showed an average Inhibition Zone Diameter (IZD) Of 19mm while the positive control showed IZD of 15mm. Therefore it can be stated that the test drug is more effective than the positive control 2nd the isolated culture is sensitive to the test drug as it had shown a IZD of 19mm while it is intermediate sensitive for the positive control as 15mm comes under Intermediate sensitive range (15-18mm). These results support the fact that the indigenous mouth wash (Gandusha) is effective in the management of periodontal diseases

    In-vitro Microbiological Study on; an Indigenous Mouthwash (Gandusha) for Periodontal Disease
    (International Journal of Recent Scientific Research, 2019) Peiris, K.P.P.; Samaranayake, G.V.P.
    Gandusha is clinica.lly effective in the management of perindontal disease. This study is an in-vitro anaiysis on dctcrmining the antimicrobral efficacl of the drug using standard Antimicrohial Sensitivity Test agamst a fungtrl culture isolated from a patient. Thc test was periormed according to the Well diffusion method having 6 mm diameter uells on Sahouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Each rr-ell rvas ioaded rrith the test drug nrired in 20 pl of sterile distilled rvater and l'luconazole 2.5 mg/ ml was used as the posrtive control. Accordrng to the results the test drug sho*'ed lnhibitory Zone Diameter (lZD) ol 1-5 mm. Therclbre rt can be stiited that the test drug is more elI'ective than the positive control and the isolated culture is sensitive to the rest drug as it had shown a IZD of l9 mm while it is intermedtate sensitive for the positive control as 15 mm comes under Intermediate Sensitive range (l-5 - 18 mm). These results support the fact that the indigenous nrouth wash (Candusha) is efttctive rn the management ofpcriodontal disease.
