“…More specifically, Souiss et al reported that cardamom inhibits the growth of periodontal pathogens such as: P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; those bacteria are highly associated with production of halitosis [ 38 ]. In a clinical trial, Erawati et al stated that rinsing with a mouthwash containing 0.5% cardamom essential oil had reduced the levels of VSC in breath for up 5 h after rinsing [ 39 ].…”

The aim of the study was to objectively evaluate the short-term effect of Arabic coffee and black tea on oral halitosis. This study was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover clinical trial on 17 healthy individuals. During the initial visit, pre-treatment breath samples were collected from each subject and analyzed using portable gas chromatography (OralChroma™). Four interventions were evaluated, with Arabic coffee and black tea as the test intervention tools, mouthwash containing a solution (0.05% chlorhexidine, 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride, and 0.14% zinc lactate (CHX-CPC-Zn)) as a positive control, and drinking water as a negative control. Halitosis was induced by rinsing with 10 mL solution of L-cysteine for 30 s. Twenty minutes later, a breath sample was taken to record the baseline volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) levels (T0). Then, the participants were asked to rinse with 10 mL of a randomly-assigned solution for 30 s. Sixty minutes later, another breath sample was recorded (T1). Finally, after 120 min, the final breath sample was recorded (T2). It was found that rinsing with Arabic coffee decreased the level of H2S both in the first hour (T1) and the second hour (T2). The reduction was significantly greater at T1 (p = 0.017). There was a similar result after the volunteers rinsed with black tea. At T2, Arabic coffee showed a substantially greater reduction in H2S (p < 0.001). On the contrary, using CHX-CPC-Zn showed a significant and continuous decrease in H2S values in the breath throughout the experiment (p < 0.001). Water showed no significant impact on the level of VSC (p = 0.71). This study demonstrates that black tea and Arabic coffee had inhibitory effects on halitosis that was greater in the first hour and was not sustained over a long period. Additionally, Arabic coffee had a greater inhibitory effect on halitosis than black tea.

A bstract Aim The in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of Elettaria cardamomum (0.5%) mouthwash, Camellia sinensis (0.5%) mouthwash, and 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash against Streptococcus mutans. Materials and methods A total of 60 samples of the five mouthwash preparations were prepared to check for their antimicrobial efficacy. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) against S. mutans was measured as a diameter in mm, and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of mouthwash preparations was measured as μg/mL. All the groups were compared statistically using the Mann–Whitney U test and the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results The highest ZOI was observed in group V chlorhexidine gluconate [mean: 20.8, standard deviation (SD): 0.58], followed by group III C. sinensis (alcohol-free) (mean: 15.5, SD: 0.67), group IV C. sinensis (alcohol-based) (mean: 14.08, SD: 0.66), and group II E. cardamomum (alcohol-based) (mean: 13.2, SD: 0.45). The least ZOI was observed in group I E. cardamomum (alcohol-free) (mean: 10.7, SD: 0.45). This difference was statistically significant ( p < 0.01). The MIC was similar in all the groups ( p = 0.13). Conclusion Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% mouthwash showed the best antimicrobial action; however, C. sinensis mouthwash showed potential against S. mutans. E. cardamomum mouthwash exhibited limited antimicrobial activity. How to cite this article Deolikar S, Jawdekar A, Saraf T, et al.
