Results

In a clinical study to assess the microbiological and therapeutic effects of matcha mouthwash in patients with periodontitis, the P. gingivalis number in saliva was significantly reduced by matcha mouthwash compared to the pre-intervention level. A tendency toward improvement in probing pocket depth was observed in the matcha group, although the difference was not statistically significant.

Baseline Characteristics

Patients with chronic periodontitis were assessed for eligibility at the Department of Periodontology (Nihon University Hospital School of Dentistry at Matsudo, Japan) between March 2021 and February 2022. Forty-five subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled and randomly divided into the following three different groups: sodium azulene sulfonate hydrate, barley tea, or matcha. Inclusion criteria are as follows:
1. Patients with at least one tooth having PPD not less than 5 mm after completion of initial periodontal therapy
2. No antimicrobial treatment in the last 3 months
3. No smoking experience
4. No allergy experience
5. Not younger than 20 years old

Participant flow

Patients received one of the three powders containing sodium azulene sulfonate hydrate, barley tea, or matcha. They dissolved the powder by themselves in tap water to prepare the mouthwash and gargled the mouthwash twice a day for a month, according to a trained periodontist's instructions. Oral examination was performed and saliva samples were collected before and after the intervention. All 45 patients enrolled in the present study were followed up and analyzed. At the visit after intervention, we checked the records of individual administration, as well as interviewed the patients regarding whether mouth washing was properly performed. Adverse events were also documented with respect to onset, duration, treatment, relation to study medication, and outcome.

Adverse events

Nothing in particular

Outcome measures

The primary endpoint of this study was improvement of the following oral examination parameters by the intervention: Pl.I., GI, PPD, BOP, PISA, and PESA. The secondary endpoints were clearance of oral pathobionts in the oral cavity after the 1-month mouthwash intervention.
