Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether using green tea mouthwash can improve oral health in oral cancer patients undergoing treatment, especially since cancer therapy can cause painful mouth issues that hinder good oral hygiene.
  • Patients were randomly assigned to either rinse with green tea or tap water after brushing, and their oral health was checked monthly for six months by a nurse.
  • Results showed that patients who used green tea mouthwash experienced a significant improvement in their oral health compared to those who rinsed with tap water, suggesting that green tea may be beneficial for oral care in this patient group.]
