Abstract

Backgrounds and Objective: GREEN TEA (Camellia sinensis; Teacea family) contains antioxidant and antimicrobial agents, and has a protective effect on the health of teeth. The aim of this study was to make a stable formulation of GREEN TEA aqueous extract and to verify its antimicrobial effects on the oral aerobic BACTERIAL LOAD.Subjects and Methods: A total of 25 female volunteer students within the age range of 20 through 25 years were evaluated by using 0.2, 0.5 and 1% plant TANNIN aqueous solution on their aerobic bacteria streptococcus mutan species and the kinds of staphylococcus living in mouth. In order to evaluate the specific role of alcohol, a GREEN TEA MOUTHWASH containing 1% TANNIN plus 10% alcohol was compared with a same alcohol-free formulation. Also in a separate test, a comparative study was performed between the above alcoholic GREEN TEA MOUTHWASH and the commercial chlorhexidine 0.2%.Results: The aqueous extract containing 1% TANNIN was more effective than other concentrations (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between any of the formulations of GREEN TEA MOUTHWASHes whether or not alcohol was incorporated (P>0.05). Also, no difference was observed between the herbal and chlorhexidine 0.2% MOUTHWASHes in terms of their antibacterial activities on the aerobic mouth BACTERIAL LOAD.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that TANNIN 1% aqueous GREEN TEA extract is as effective as chlorhexidine 0.2% MOUTHWASH in reducing oral aerobic bacteria. The use of this herbal MOUTHWASH may also be safer, especially in children and pregnant women.
