Brief summary: Aim: To compare the efficacy of Aloe Vera and non-alcoholic chlorhexidine mouthwash in the treatment of Periodontal diseases.

Methods \&Material: 32 patients were selected, the following periodontal parameters were recorded at baseline, and after recording all the parameters at the baseline, Scaling, root planning, and polishing are done for all the patients participating in the study. Oral hygiene instructions were given that included brushing twice a day with a soft brush, After 2 weeks, patients in the study, were randomly (Balanced Block Randomization) equal divided into 2 groups;

Group A: mouthwash aloe Vera (Alodent Co. UK) for each patient, Group B: Non-alcoholic Chlorhexidine (Perio-Kin, Livar CO. Spain) 10 ml by patients routinely washed two times in one day for about 30 seconds and lasts for 15 days, then every 7 days periodontal parameters, and at the end of 2 weeks (days 0, 7, 15) clinical changes are evaluated.
