Introduction

Neembaum Azadirachta Indica. It is a tropical evergreen evergreen that belongs to the family Meliaceae and is associated with mahogany. Most of the East Indies and Burma's South Asia and West Africa. Some trees have recently been planted in several Central American countries, including the Caribbean and Mexico. The Indian population has worshiped the Neema tree for centuries. Beans, cupboards, and cupboards to keep rhinoceros beetles in the way. The tree can be up to 30 m tall and the arms and legs reach half the width. The glossy, dark green leaves can be up to 30 cm long. Each sheet has 10 jagged leaves, 7 cm long. They live in areas where precipitation is growing and very little, with extreme heat occurring up to 48°C. Even some of the most careful studies are the same as those deserving to be explained in 1989 by a group of private interventions dedicated to organic horticulturalism as "miracle plants." In 1994, trees were planted in a small area along the edge of the road. The population of neems planted south of Sonoro in Mexico differs in phenotype and quality, fruits are heterogeneous in size and shape, and oil content and quality vary. The aim of this study was to characterize 216 trees in the collection of Instituto Technologico Agropecuario in southern Mexico, southern Sonoro. Neem Trees are important today in the world context. This is because it provides a solution to the diverse concerns of humanity that are very well established in every part of the Neema tree, establishing the wide range of biological and pharmacological effects of the Neema tree. Literature searches show that Neembaum has several potential uses in dentistry, but its application is limited to everyday dental practices. For many products ranging from cosmetics to agriculture, the current manuscript from the perspective of Ayurvedic oral hygiene appears to suggest that Ayurvedic is sufficient and neem derivatives are included in traditional dental practice. The inclusion of neem-based products in future dental practices is a significant improvement compared to existing practices.

Pharmaceutical Gel

Introduction

Gels are defined as semi-rigid systems in which the movement of the dispersion medium is limited by an interesting three-dimensional network of solvated polymers in the dispersion phase. The word "gel" comes from "gelatin" and both are pulled down to Latin gel and can be retracted to Latin Geros. Rivers, but elastic and retain some liquid properties. The use of the term "gel" was created as a classification, when a chemist tried to classify a semi-soluble substance according to its phenomenological properties rather than according to its molecular composition. At this point, there was a lack of analytical methods for determining the chemical structure. Introduction USP defines a gel (also known as a gel) as a semi-solid system containing suspensions from small inorganic particles or suspensions from large organic molecules that are interesting for liquids. If the gel contains a network of small individual particles, the gel is classified as a two-phase system. In two-phase systems, when the particle size of the dispersed phase is relatively large, the gel mass is sometimes called magma. The gel in the EIN phase is made up of organic polymers that circulate evenly within the liquid, where there is no obvious boundary between the dispersed polymer and the liquid.

Properties of Gels :

1. Ideally, the gelling agent must be inert, safe and cannot react with other formulation constituents.

2. The gelling agent should produce a sensible solid-like nature at the time of storage which is easily broken when exposed to shear forces produced by squeezing the tube, trembling the bottle or at the time of topical application.

3. It should have suitable anti-microbial agent.

4. :The topical gel must not be sticky.

5. The ophthalmic gel must be sterile.

6. The apparent viscosity or gel strength increases with an increase in the effective crosslink density of the gel. However, a rise in temperature may increase or decrease the apparent viscosity, depending on the molecular interactions between the polymer and solvent.

Procedure:

3.5gm of carbopol 934P was added in 200ml of water and soaked for 24 hr to prepare the base gel. This base gel 2.5% neem extract and 0.2 % CHX powder was added along with 0.01% peppermint oil and preservatives to prepare the respective gels and cinnamon. The gels were tested and found stable for 1 year.
