A Comparison of Chlorhexidine and Green Tea Mouthwash in Patients With Gingivitis and Their Salivary Neutrophil and TAC Levels

A total of 84 individuals diagnosed with gingivitis were selected for this study. These participants were randomly assigned to two different groups. The purpose of the study was to measure the periodontal parameters of the two molars adjacent to the mandible using a periodontal probe. All of the patients received scaling and root planing (SRP) as part of their treatment. However, the treatment groups differed in terms of the supplements they received. Group A was given a twice-daily dose of CHX, while Group B received a daily dose of Green tea. In addition to this, 2 ml of unstimulated saliva was collected from each patient both before and after 2 months. The purpose of collecting the saliva samples was to evaluate the total Neutrophil level and determine if there were any changes over time.
