EFFECT OF GREEN TEA ON ORAL HEALTH

Abstract

Tea is one of the most consumed beverages. Past two decades, because of benefits on human health, there is a rising interest on green tea. Green tea has antifungal, antimicrobial and antioxidant activition and also it reduces, recuding incidence of cardiovascular disease, obesity and oral cancer. Polyphenol content of green tea has inhibitory effect againts growth of various patogens such as Helicobakter pylori, metisilin resistant mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysentery, Shigella flexneri and Vibrio cholera.Green tea has also anticariogenic efficiency with inhibiting microorganisms such as S. mutans and S. sobrinus. Green tea is also effective agent against periodontal disease and dental erosion. The purpose of this review is to investigate the effects of green tea on oral health

YEŞİL ÇAYIN AĞIZ VE DİŞ SAĞLIĞI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Çay en çok tüketilen içeceklerden birisidir. Son 20 yıldır, insan sağlığı üzerine olumlu etkilerinin olması nedeniyle yeşil çaya ilgi giderek artmaktadır. Yeşil çayın kardiyovasküler rahatsızlık, obezite ve oral kanser insidansını azaltan, antifungal, antimikrobiyal ve antioksidan aktivite ve kolesterol düşürücü etkinlik gösteren biyolojik etkileri bulunmaktadır. Yeşil çayın polifenol içeriğinin Helicobakter pylori, metisilin dirençli Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysentery, Shigella flexneri ve Vibrio cholera gibi birçok patojenik bakterinin büyümesini inhibe edici etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Yeşil çay, diş çürüğüne sebep olan S. mutans ve S. sobrinus gibi mikroorganizmaların virülans faktörlerini farklı yollarla inhibe ederek anti karyojenik etkinlik gösterebilmektedir. Ayrıca dental erozyona ve dişeti hastalıklarına karşı da etkili olduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, yeşil çayın ağız ve diş sağlığı üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesidir.
