Green tea has protective effects against various diseases such as malignancies, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Green tea has been suggested to promote periodontal health by reducing inflammation, preventing the resorption of bones and restricting the growth of certain periodontal-related bacteria. Green tea has antioxidant, carcinogenic, antimicrobial and non-inflammatory properties. This traditional drink is also used to treat systemic chronic diseases, including carcinoma. Recent studies have shown that host immuno-inflammatory reactions, in addition to microbial activity, are more likely to destroy oral tissues. In such cases, green tea is considered to be a natural preventive and curative agent. The potential benefits of green tea and its polyphenols in oral health is capturing the interest of the researchers; hence, this review discusses the therapeutic effects of green tea in the prevention of periodontal and oral diseases.
绿茶对多种疾病具有保护作用，如恶性肿瘤、心血管疾病和代谢紊乱等。有人认为绿茶可通过减轻炎症、防止骨质吸收以及抑制某些与牙周相关细菌的生长来促进牙周健康。绿茶具有抗氧化、抗癌、抗菌和抗炎特性。这种传统饮品还用于治疗包括癌症在内的全身性慢性疾病。最近的研究表明，除了微生物活动外，宿主免疫炎症反应更有可能破坏口腔组织。在这种情况下，绿茶被认为是一种天然的预防和治疗剂。绿茶及其多酚在口腔健康方面的潜在益处正引起研究人员的兴趣；因此，本综述讨论了绿茶在预防牙周疾病和口腔疾病方面的治疗作用。
