Abstract:
Importance: Children are the most vulnerable group exposed to SHS and green tea has been explored for its beneficial effects on improvement of salivary parameters and prevention of oral diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of green tea varnish on the salivary parameters among primary school children aged 10-120 exposed to second hand tobacco smoke. Design: The study was conducted using an intervention study (one group pretest-posttest design). Participant: Stimulated saliva was collected from the 60 children of grade 6 students exposed to SHS at the baseline and after one, three and six months after green tea varnish application. Salivary flow rate, pH, buffering capacity and IgA increased significantly after one and three months of follow up. Results: There were statistical significance differences between baseline and one and three months. values. Concerning TAC, the median value increased after one month. This increase was statistically significant (p = 0.00). Streptococcus mutans count decreased significantly after one and three months. Lactobacilli count decreased significantly after one, three and six months. Conclusion: Green tea varnish has a beneficial effect on salivary parameters of children who were exposed to SHS and succeeded to overcome the parameters variations between children included in the intervention study.
