Phase 3

Completed

• Conditions: Plaque Induced Gingivitis
• Interventions: Other: green tea mouthwash; Other: placebo

• Registration Number: NCT04484792
• Lead Sponsor: Taibah University

Brief Summary

This investigation will study the effect of green tea mouthwash as an adjunctive therapy to mechanical treatment on gingival health, and whether it has any side effects. This study also aims at increasing the awareness among health professionals and the community regarding the benefits of natural herbal products such as green tea on oral health, opposed to common chemical products. This may provide an efficient alternative for people who are sensitive to certain chemical products or who have limited sources of income and cannot afford expensive treatment of dental problems.
