“…Even though CHX has been reported to be very effective in reducing bacterial dental plaque, it yields teeth staining and causes discoloration in both teeth and restorations [ 23 , 24 ]. Using Green Tea containing mouthwash has a comparable bactericidal effect to that of CHX, but its effect on resin composite surface properties and color stability is still unknown [ 25 , 26 ]. Recently, home bleaching procedure has become a popular process in removing stains to obtain an esthetic appearance of natural teeth.…”

Background: Surface microhardness and color stability of dental restorative material should be sustained throughout its functional lifetime to maintain the esthetic quality of the restoration. However, the frequent application of mouthwash may affect their surface microhardness and color stability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different types of mouthwashes with different contents on surface microhardness and color stability of dental nanohybrid resin-based composite. Methods: Disc specimens of nanohybrid resin composite (Luna Nano-Hybrid Composite) were prepared according to manufacturing instructions; specimens were incubated for 24 h in three types of mouthwash (Chlorohexidine, Listerine Green Tea, and Colgate Optic White Whitening Mouthwash). Artificial saliva was used as a control group. Surface microhardness was evaluated using Vickers microhardness device. Color stability after and before immersion in the different mouthwashes was evaluated using extra-oral spectrophotometer; the values of color change (ΔE00) were subsequently calculated. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post hoc test (p ≤ 0.05). Results: There was no significant difference between microhardness of resin composite immersed in artificial saliva, CHX, and Green Tea mouthwashes (78.5, 78.4, and 73.5, respectively) (p ≥ 0.1), while the bleaching mouthwash led to the lowest microhardness of resin composite, with significant difference compared to the three previous immersion media (p = 0.002). Moreover, there were significant differences in the color changes (ΔE00) of resin composite exposed to the various immersion media (p = 0.0001). Conclusions: The bleaching mouthwash led to a significant reduction in nanohybrid resin composite’s microhardness compared to the chlorohexidine and Green Tea containing mouthwashes. The resin composite’s color change was accepted in bleaching mouthwash but unaccepted in chlorohexidine and Green Tea containing mouthwashes.

“…Barouti et al [33] 2018 found that a four-week regimen of mouth washing with a dilute catechin solution reduced the mouth odor (halitosis) associated with periodontal disease. Tea catechins especially EGCG deodorizes methyl mercaptan, the main cause of halitosis [34] EGCG (active at 250-500 μg/ml) inhibited growth and adhesion of Porphyromonas gingivalis to buccal epithelial cells [35] In light of the results of the survey, it was evident that the majority of the students were aware of the therapeutic benefits of green tea among the dental fraternity.…”

Green tea is a popular beverage and in vitro studies have shown that green tea phenols inhibit the growth and cellular adherence of periodontal pathogens and their production of virulence factors. The antioxidants, bacteria battling catechins and other micronutrients in green tea fortify tooth structures, whitens teeth, keep breath fresh, and dissolves plaque. Green tea controls bacteria and lowers the acidity of saliva and dental plaque, it may be a useful tool in preventing cavities. Green tea’s anti-inflammatory powers seem to help control periodontal (gum) disease. The aim of this present survey was to establish awareness of the therapeutic benefits of green tea among the dental fraternity. A descriptive survey was conducted among dental students of Saveetha Dental college using a questionnaire in the google form. The questionnaire consists of 15 questions that were framed based on the knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of green tea in oral health and sent to 75 subjects. The data was collected and systematically analyzed that 62% of participants reported that green tea removes bad breath, 68% of participants reported that green tea has anti-inflammatory effects that heal gum diseases. About 64% of participants reported that frequent intake of green tea would decrease dental caries formation. About 60% of participants reported that green tea has curative properties against dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, and oral malignancy. Based on this survey, the knowledge and awareness about the therapeutic benefits of green tea among the dental fraternity have been known by the majority of persons.

“…By inhibiting enzymes like glucosyltransferase and salivary amylase, GT reduces plaque adhesion and fermentable carbohydrates, thereby reducing plaque index scores [21][22][23]. It suppresses the acidogenicity and aciduricity of S. mutans, thereby reducing the negative impact of cariogenic bacteria [26][27][28][29]. All of these effects highlight the greater anticarcinogenic potential of GT, which might explain the results in the present study, where GT, while demonstrating the lowest values of PI at seven days, was equally efficient as other groups, including negative controls.…”

Introduction: The removal of dental plaque is the primary step in achieving good oral hygiene. Mechanical plaque removal measures have questionable efficacy in inaccessible areas and proximal aspects of the oral cavity. Out of the several types of mouthwash available, chlorhexidine (CHX) is regarded as the gold standard, but considering its adverse effects, herbal alternatives are being sought after. So, the aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of alternative herbal mouthwashes.Materials and methods: In this randomized, double-blind study, 125 selected patients were divided into five groups. Group 1: negative control -distilled water (DW); group 2: positive control -hexidine mouthwash (ICPA, Gujarat, India); group 3: FeelFresh Herbal Mouthcare Gargle (Able Exports, Gujarat, India); group 4: HiOra mouthwash (Himalaya Wellness Company, Bengaluru, India); group 5: Colgate MaxFresh Fresh Tea mouthwash (Colgate-Palmolive, India). Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and microbial count (CFU) were evaluated before and after the intervention.Results: The difference among the three types of herbal mouthwash was statistically non-significant. The lowest PI, GI, and CFU values were obtained in the subjects of group 4. Conclusion:Herbal mouthwashes are a promising alternative and are effective in maintaining oral hygiene.
