According to the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Polyphenols including epigallocatechin 3 gallate (EGCG) isolated from green tea ameliorated oral cavity oxidative stress and inflammation, cigarette smoking and cigarettes' deleterious compounds nicotine and acrolein.

All together, there is an increasing interest in the health benefits of green tea in the field of oral health".


In the review of beneficial effects of green tea on oral disease, researchers found that green tea not only reduced the bacterial activity in the oral cavity in expression of the aforementioned oral afflictions but also attenuated risk of oral cancer through the antioxidant activities.

EGCG, in Solobacterium moorei, a volatile sulfide compound (VSC)-producing Gram-positive anaerobic bacterium study, displayed a significant effect in inhibited the growth of S. moorei, with MIC values of 500 and 250 μg/ml resulting in reduced the adherence of S. moorei to oral epithelial cells.

The study also suggested, the efficacy of green tea extract and EGCG protected oral health by inhibited the progression of Solobacterium moorei probably through the ameliorated S. moorei's β-galactosidase activity in production of volatile sulfide compound (VSC) in doses dependent manner.
