Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The prevalence of dental caries is approximately 60% – 65% in India. According to WHO report, dental plaque continues to pose an important public health problem in most developed countries mostly effecting school children. Recently scientists proposed the use of black tea as moth rinse to reduce dental plaques. With this background we planned our study to find out the effectiveness of black tea as mouth rinse among school children with dental plaque, before and after the use of black tea. This interventional study was conducted at a public school in Nellore. About 60 school children with dental plaque were randomly selected for the study. Out of 60 students, 30 were selected for study purpose and the remaining 30 students were recruited as control group. The overall findings of the study showed that the black tea mouth rinse for dental plaque was effective and had brought a change in the level of dental plaque. Our study showed a significant relationship with the use of black tea and decrease in the reduction of dental plaque.
