Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been investigated for its potential benefits in oral health, including the management of denture sores (traumatic ulcers or stomatitis caused by dentures). The scientific rationale behind using green tea for this condition is primarily attributed to its rich polyphenolic content, specifically catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which possess notable anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Several in vitro and clinical studies have explored the efficacy of green tea extracts or mouthwashes in reducing oral microbial load, inhibiting the growth of Candida albicans (a common cause of denture-related stomatitis), and promoting mucosal healing.

For example, clinical trials have shown that green tea mouthwashes can help decrease inflammation and pain in patients with various oral lesions, including those caused by dentures. Additionally, green tea’s astringent properties may contribute to tissue contraction and healing. However, while the evidence is promising, it is not yet robust or universally accepted as a standard treatment. Most studies are small, and there is a need for more high-quality, randomized controlled trials specifically focusing on denture sores.

In summary, the use of green tea for denture sores is backed by moderate scientific evidence, mainly due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, but further research is warranted to establish standardized protocols and definitive efficacy.
