Mukha is one of the important parts in Urdwajatru. It works as a reflection of health of GI tract as it is the gateway of alimentary canal. Smoking, unhealthy food habits, improper oral hygiene cause adverse effect on health of human body . These are the prime causative factors which leads to Mukha ,Danta and Dantamoolagata Rogas. Sitada is one among the Dantamoolagata Rogas. There is a vitiation of Kapha and Rakta resulting in Raktasraava from the gums. Gums becomes Krishna ,Mrudu, Jeerna further leads to Prakledana and Durgandhatwa of oral cavity. Gingivitis if neglected and left untreated, further progress to its later stage known as periodontitis which involves deeper structures of the periodontium. Modern management is not satisfactory as their treatment of repeated scaling is harmful for teeth and is mildly painful. Mechanical removal of plaque and debris by scaling causes trauma to the gums. The current research was carried out while taking into account effectiveness, cost, convenience in utilization, and routine application. ? 60 patients fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria irrespective of gender, religion, occupation, marital status, socio economic status, educational status were selected for the study. ? Both the groups individually had a highly significant outcome in all evaluation parameters such as Akasmath Rakthasrava,Shotha, Krishnatha, Dantamamsa mrudutha, Dantamamsa Prakledatha, Mukhadaurgandhya, Gingival index and Plaque index. When the outcomes of the evaluation criteria were compared between the groups, there was significant difference. ? It has been statistically proven that there is statistically significant difference in the effect of Priyanguvadi Pratisarana and Patadi Pratisarana with Patadi Pratisarana having better effect than Priyanguvadhi Pratisarana in Sitada(Gingivitis).
