Abstract
Introduction : Herbal mouthwash has been developed for its antibacterial properties.
Halitosis is bad breath that comes from the mouth. Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs)
are the result of oral bacterial activity production, by Porphyromonas gingivalis which
is an gram-negative anaerobic bacteria causing halitosis. Flavonoids have the
potential to be an antioxidant and have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic
and anti-thrombotic activities, while saponins and tannins are a group of active plant
compounds that are phenolic, have a septic taste and antibacterial activity. The aim of
this literature study was to improve knowledge about the effect of herbal mouthwashes
with active substances of flavonoids, saponins and tannins on halitosis.
Methods : Literature review using research results, articles and other literatures
related to herbal mouthwash and medicinal plant content against halitosis.
Results : Some researchers had shown that herbal mouthwashes with antibacterial
content in the form of flavonoids, saponins and tannins could inhibit the growth of oral
bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus
sanguinis, which would inhibit plaque formation, reducing halitosis, overcoming
gingivitis, increasing salivary pH and reducing salivary viscosity.
Conclusion : Based on the search results of the search, it can be concluded that
herbal mouthwash containing active substances of flavonoids, saponins and tannins
has an effect in overcoming halitosis.
