ABSTRACT:
The use of herbs is gaining popularity in the oral care sector. There is a lot of clinical evidence to support the use of certain herbal ingredients in mouthwashes that are pertinent to this topic. In recent years, numerous researchers in the domains of pharmaceutical research and dentistry have taken an interest in the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, because of its biologic and therapeutic properties. This plant's anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-septic qualities make it an ideal choice for mouthwash formulation. In this systematic review, we tried to find, evaluate, and categorize the little information about Camellia sinensis mouthwashes in the medical literature. We searched three scientific databases using the phrases tea, dental care, Camellia sinensis, and mouthwash. Of the 69 relevant papers we found, 41 were optimized controlled trials (RCTs), and the majority of them recommended anti-microbial. These tea formulations contain anti-plaque and analgesic effects. Products made from Camellia sines have the potential to act as antiseptic, anti-plaque, and anti-inflammatory substances due to their favorable safety profile and the prevalent pattern in clinical data. As a result, they might be useful mouth wash in both daily use and future clinical research.
