European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2023, Volume 10, Issue 1, Pages 5411-5416
The extraoral dry time and the storage media used to store teeth before reimplantation have the greatest impact on the prognosis of avulsed teeth.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different storage media on viability of periodontal ligament cells at different time periods.
Materials and Methods: Fifty freshly extracted sound teeth with healthy PDL were selected for the present study. Teeth were divided into four groups with 10 teeth each depending on the storage media (HBSS, COCONUT WATER, ALOE VERA, MILK) used for storing freshly extracted teeth. Remaining 10 samples were divided into 2 groups with 5 teeth each to serve as control. Cell viability in each group was checked at 1hr, 2hrs, 4 hrs, 8 hrs and 24 hrs time period. The data were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis using One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with post hoc analysis (Tukey HSD) for comparison of means. The statistical software namely SPSS 21.0 was used to analysis of the data.
Results: The results indicated PDL cell viability was maximum at 1 hour time interval in all the groups and decreased over a period of time. Also, HBSS showed maximum percentage of viable PDL cells followed by Coconut water, Aloe Vera and milk at all time intervals tested.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that HBSS is the gold standard for the preservation of viable cells for a longer period followed by Coconut water and Aloe Vera.

2022, Volume 9, Issue 8, Pages 3174-3181
Diabetes mellitus has been described as the most common endocrine disorder that impairs glucose homeostasis resulting in severe complications. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is associated with long term damage, dysfunction and eventually the failure of organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.
Currently, there is a renewed interest in the plant based medicines. One such herbal drug, Aloe Vera used for different clinical purposes claimed for its effect on blood glucose levels.
Total of 240 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were enrolled and allocated to four groups viz. A, B, C and D. Group A and C will be given conventional anti-diabetic agents, however Group B and D in addition to anti-diabetic agent, Aloe Vera will be given as add on therapy.
While assessing the results and comparing the overall degree of glycaemia control between group A & B, a significant (p<0.004) difference with mean fasting and mean PP blood glucose (p<0.001) were observed. Similarly comparing the overall degree of glycaemia control between group C & D, a significant (p<0.004) difference with mean fasting and mean PP blood glucose (p<0.000) were observed. A significant difference between mean HbA1c recorded before and after the treatment in the groups were treated with Aloe Vera as add on therapy with conventional antidiabetic drugs.
The study concluded that the subjects who were treated with Aloe Vera as an add on therapy with conventional antidiabetic drugs has comparatively produced better clinical outcome in terms of glycaemia control and lower incidence of complications.

The effects of aloe vera on periodontal health
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine,
2020, Volume 7, Issue 10, Pages 2865-2870
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to the destruction of the bone support of the tooth. Its clinical manifestation varies from a simple gingivitis to a periodontitis. The main cause of this pathology is plaque buildup. Various chemical compounds have been introduced with antibacterial and anti-plaque properties. The main one is chlorhexidine gluconate. With the increased use of natural derivative compounds, interest in aloe vera (AV) has increased. AV has various effects on the human being, among which it promotes wound healing, has an anti-inflammatory effect, has an antibacterial and antiviral effect. Therefore the purpose of this review is to evaluate the antibacterial power of an aloe vera based mouthwash formulation. Several articles were considered through a systematic review of the different search engines. Three articles were examined which compared the effectiveness of an aloe vera-based mouthwash with a chlorhexidine-based mouthwash. Experiments on humans have been considered. The 3 papers showed a completely similar efficacy of chlorhexidine compared to aloe vera. In fact, studies have shown that this natural product has the same anti-plaque beneficial effects as chlorhexidine. It does not have the side effects of chlorhexidine. further clinical trials will be needed to assess whether long-term side effects of aloe vera are actually present. The studies analyzed have a short follow-up, so some long-term effects could not be assessed.
