Evaluation of Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effect of Matcha Tea Intake on Periodontal Health

December 22, 2023 updated by: Hayder Raad Abdulbaqi

Aim of the study:

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant and beneficial effects of matcha tea daily intake on periodontal health.

Objectives:

  • To evaluate the salivary level of antioxidants (catalase, total antioxidant capacity) after matcha tea intake compared to green tea over a period of one month.
  • To evaluate the clinical periodontal parameters including bleeding on probing (BOP), probing pocket depth (PPD) and plaque index (PI) after matcha tea intake compared to green tea over a period of one month.
  • To evaluate the salivary levels of IL-1B after matcha tea intake compared to green tea over a period of one month.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
change in salivary level of antioxidant marker
Time Frame: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in level of catalase enzyme in ku/L
30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in salivary level of ant-inflammatory marker
Time Frame: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in level of interleukin- one beta (IL-1B) in pg/L
30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
change in percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP)
Time Frame: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in BOP percentage. less percentage means less inflammation in gingival tissue
30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in plaque index (PI) scores
Time Frame: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
change in PI scores. less scores mean less dental plaque accumulated onto teeth surfaces
30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)
