Eligible subjects will be assigned to the nanocurcumin and chlorhexidine mouthwash groups, the nanocurcumin only and chlorhexidine only, and the control group using the random block method. We first create a random sequence of 11 eight-block random blocks. In each block, each letter A, B, C, D is repeated twice.
ABCDACDB, CADBACBD, DACBBCAD, ABBCDACD, CADBACDB,…
In the desired sequence, there will be 22 letters from each letter A, B, C, D. According to the above block, 88 envelopes will be prepared, and in each envelope, the letters A, B, C, D will be placed and will be numbered from 1 to 88. The person delivering the envelopes to the patients does not know what is inside. A random sequence is produced by a statistics and methodology consultant who does not have access to patients, and only he knows what is in each number.
Patients who received the letter A in the nanocurcumin and chlorhexidine mouthwash group, patients who received the letter B in the nanocurcumin group, and patients who received the letter C in the chlorhexidine group patients who received the letter D in the control group will be placed.
