Effects of Green Tea Mouthwash on Halitosis, Periodontal Health, and Stress in Orthodontic Patients
Sponsor: Universiti Sains Malaysia
Summary
This randomized, double-blind, four-arm clinical trial evaluates the effects of green tea mouthwash on halitosis, periodontal health, salivary stress biomarkers, and oxidative stress in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Participants aged 15-25 years are assigned to one of four mouthwash groups: two green tea mouthwashes, a fluoride mouthwash, or normal saline. Outcomes are assessed before treatment and during follow-up using halitosis measurements, periodontal assessments, salivary biomarkers, and microbiological analysis.
