Rinsing With 3% Green Tea Extract for Three Minutes Increases Saliva Secretion More Than One and Two Minutes
Objectives: The purpose of this study to register the increase of saliva secretion after rinsing with 3% Green tea extract for one minute, two minutes and three minutes.
Methods: Experimental research using pre test-post test control group design was conducted on students and patients with dental caries at Dentistry Hospital Faculty of Dentistry Mahasaraswati University Denpasar. 44 samples divided into four groups by simple random sampling technique. Group I as control, rinse used 10 ml of distilled water for three minutes, Group II rinsed with 3% of green tea extract for one minute, Group III rinsed with 3% green tea extract for two minutes and Group IV rinsed with 3% of green tea extract for three minutes.
Results: There was an increase in the average of saliva secretion between the pre and post rinsing with distilled water for three minutes (0.57 ml/minute), 3% Green tea extract for one minute (0.92 ml/minute), two minutes (0.94 ml/minuWte) and three minutes (1.32 ml/minute). Analysis by One Way Anova test showed that after the treatment was given to all group, the saliva secretion were significantly different (p=0.001). LSD test showed that the increased saliva secretion after rinsing with 3% green tea extract for three minutes were higher than one minute and two minutes.
Conclusions: Rinsing with 3% green tea extract for three minutes further increases saliva secretion compared with one minute and two minutes.
