About this study

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.
Being tested
green tea, matcha tea

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in salivary level of antioxidant marker

    change in level of catalase enzyme in ku/L

    Measured: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)

  2. change in salivary level of ant-inflammatory marker

    change in level of interleukin- one beta (IL-1B) in pg/L

    Measured: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP)

    change in BOP percentage. less percentage means less inflammation in gingival tissue

    Measured: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)

  2. change in plaque index (PI) scores

    change in PI scores. less scores mean less dental plaque accumulated onto teeth surfaces

    Measured: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in salivary level of antioxidant marker (time frame: 30 Days (baseline to one moth of tea intake)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05681325, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
