Abstract: Abstract: Periodontitis is a multifactorial progressive disease of the gingiva, the underlying tissues and bone. Periodontitis occurs when inflammatory changes reach the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, these changes are irreversible and destructive, ultimately leading to tooth loss. Both surgical and non surgical treatment are done to treat periodontitis, yet there are some disadvantages. To overcome the disadvantages caused by systemic drugs, local drug delivery system of antimicrobial agents are extensively studied. Green tea is one of the most popularly consumed beverages worldwide and contains a number of bioactive chemicals. Therefore the effect of green tea when used as an adjuvant to scaling and root planing was assessed. Materials and methods: Forty patients visiting the Department of periodontics, Saveetha Dental college, Chennai, diagnosed with chronic periodontitis were selected for the study. They were randomly split into two groups - Group A and Group B.Group A were the test group, they received scaling and root planing along with green tea administration. Group B was the control group, they received scaling and root planing alone. Result: In our study we could see a significant difference in both the gingival index and pocket depth after treatment. On comparing the test and control group we could clearly see that there is better oral hygiene in patients in the test group. Conclusion: Hence green tea catechism can be used as an effective local drug delivery system to improve periodontal health.
