Abstract
Alum consider as various isomorphs double sulfates trivalent and univalent metals, used in previous to treatment oral medical conditions. Application of alum in periodontology was few studies our present study carried out regarding this subject. The current study investigates the Plaque and bleeding levels among 15 healthy with mean age (27.40±22.14) apparently healthy subjects from different areas of Al Anbar city, the Mean difference of Alum concentration to the Plaque, the statistical analysis of results and a significant difference at the level of probability (P<0.005). The results of effect of Alum concentration in bleeding levels this clinical trial showed that treatment with 5gm/100ml, 10gm/100ml, 15gm/100ml alum both Day 15 , and Day 30 exhibited significant reductions in bleeding and the reduction increase with the increase of treatment concentration and have significant correlation with the date the bleeding reduced to zero as show, also the results show that the bleeding decreased with increase of Alum concentration and theirs significant difference P .value significant < 0.005 between the three subjected concentrations the most powerful concentration was 15gm/100ml

Introduction
In ' periodontology, The Using of alum solution for mouth wash was studied but less practiced, and theirs only a few studies was carried out regarding this subject in Iraq [1] alum studies in different field of periodontology show positive effect of alum on gingival health was observed and an inhibitory effect on microbiota of oral [2] the cytotoxic effect of alum also recorded and its safe for oral human health [3].
Alum has demonstrated activity against bacteria of oral[4]. different studies clear that alum, inhibit the growth of bacteria and reduce plaque and bleeding levels[5]. In recent antimicrobial activity application of alum cleared against cariogenic streptococci , normal flora of oral and periodontal pathogens the anti-pathogenic activity done through inhibit of colonization on enamel surfaces and reduce the colloidal stability of bacterial oral [6]. Alum have properties as astringent and FDA's recommended it as category-I in active ingredient panel in mouthwashes [6].In periodontology alum has shown activity against accumulation of plaque and reduce pathogenicity of the established plaque for 3-10 hours 0.02 M aluminum chloride 1-min rinse [7]. The efficacy of a daily use alum rinse lead to reducing the...
