Myracrodruon urundeuva Allemão, popularly known as Aroeira, has a therapeutic potential characterized by its healing, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects. The objective was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 10% aqueous extract of Aroeira bark as a mouth rinse, in controlling biofilm and gingival inflammation after gingivectomy with sufficiently invasive osteotomy. A clinical study was conducted with 20 patients who were selected according to the need for aesthetic clinical crown lengthening. The participants were allocated into two groups with 10 members each. In the control group, patients rinsed with 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate, and in the test group, 10% aqueous extract of Aroeira. Periodontal clinical parameters such as plaque index (PI), gingival bleeding index (GBI), and probing depth (PD) were collected in the pre- and postoperative periods of 7, 14, and 21 days. The mouthwash based on Aroeira extract showed efficacy, with a reduction in biofilm accumulation and less gingival inflammation in the surgical area during the period of coverage of the substance. The biological and pharmacological properties of Aroeira were shown to be effective for the parameters evaluated, constituting a potential alternative therapeutic agent for the establishment and maintenance of gingival tissue.
