“…Significant increase in salivary pH was noticed in probiotic group at both recall visits, which agrees with many previous reports. 44,45 Probiotics might influence the composition of saliva, such as the concentrations of mucins and salivary immunoglobulins, thereby affecting the nature and amount of saliva secreted. The major limitation of the present study was lack of long term follow up to document the sustained effects of probiotics for periodontal therapy.…”

Objectives Dysbiosis of oral microbiome play an integral role in periodontitis. Bacterial balance is an important aspect of host defence. Mechanical debridement alone is insufficient to manage many cases. Probiotics are a novel adjunctive strategy, but the beneficial effects of probiotics in the management of moderate periodontitis have not been evaluated before. The objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of probiotic mouth rinse of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum and Saccharomyces boulardii as an adjunct to mechanical debridement in grade II periodontitis. The study also evaluated change in salivary pH and IgA in both groups. Methods The study was registered under Clinical Trial Registry of India (CTRI NO: CTRI/2019/10/021630). 60 patients with stage II periodontitis were randomized into probiotic and placebo group (n = 30 in each group) after mechanical debridement. Patients were instructed to use mouth rinse twice a day for 30 days. Periodontal parameters (Plaque index, Gingival index, Pocket depth and clinical attachment level) were recorded at baseline, after 1 and 3 months. Salivary pH was tested using a pH metre and IgA using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Significant improvement in all clinical parameters were noted in both the groups after 1 and 3 months. Intergroup comparison revealed significant difference in gingival index, probing depth and clinical attachment gain. Significant elevation of salivary IgA and pH was noticed in probiotic group in contrast to placebo group. Conclusion The present study supports the use of probiotic mouthwash as an adjunct to mechanical therapy for the management of stage II periodontitis.

“…[ 13 14 ] Study conducted on forty healthy school children aged between 6 and 8 years has shown an increase in salivary pH from 6.15 to 7.65 after rinsing with green tea and reduced incidence of dental caries. [ 15 ] Currently, use of green tea dark chocolate combination is gaining popularity for prevention of dental plaque and consequent dental caries; however, the role of green tea in the prevention and progression of dental caries is still unclear and requires more evidence-based trials to be carried out.

Green tea has protective effects against various diseases such as malignancies, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Green tea has been suggested to promote periodontal health by reducing inflammation, preventing the resorption of bones and restricting the growth of certain periodontal-related bacteria. Green tea has antioxidant, carcinogenic, antimicrobial and non-inflammatory properties. This traditional drink is also used to treat systemic chronic diseases, including carcinoma. Recent studies have shown that host immuno-inflammatory reactions, in addition to microbial activity, are more likely to destroy oral tissues. In such cases, green tea is considered to be a natural preventive and curative agent. The potential benefits of green tea and its polyphenols in oral health is capturing the interest of the researchers; hence, this review discusses the therapeutic effects of green tea in the prevention of periodontal and oral diseases.

“…Green tea was able to create a pH balance to promote oral health on children [21]. Similarly, rinsing oral cavity with green tea significantly enhanced the mean pH values in healthy children [22]. However, it remains unclear whether another variety of tea, black tea, may also affect oral health particularly saliva.…”

The crucial role of saliva in the prevention of dental caries is associated with the regulation of its flow rate as well as salivary protein. Black tea, derived from the plant Camellia sinensis, contains catechins and has been shown to have a beneficial effect on saliva in preventing tooth decay. Nevertheless, research on the oral health benefits of black tea is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of black tea (Camellia sinensis) on salivary pH (potential hydrogen), salivary flow rate, lysozyme, and sIgA levels in caries and caries-free patients. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and a post-test. Twenty six subjects (male or female) were selected and divided into two groups (caries and caries free), thirteen subjects for each. Saliva samples were obtained before and thirty minutes after tea consumption. The flow rate of saliva was measured by dividing the weight of saliva collected by the time. At the same time, secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) levels were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The t-dependent and t-independent tests and Mann-Whitney tests were selected to evaluate the effect of drinking black tea on salivary flow rate and sIgA value. The results showed that black tea significantly increased salivary flow rate but did not significantly affect the concentration of sIgA. No statistically significant differences in salivary flow rate and sIgA were observed between patients with and without caries after tea consumption. Although the concentration of sIgA did not demonstrate a significant change, however, the salivary flow rate was significantly enhanced. Therefore, drinking black tea did not negatively affect the saliva in the oral cavity, suggesting it can be a good option for daily consumption due to its protective role against dental caries.
