Abstract

Background: Pain following surgical removal of impacted molars has remained a principal concern among practitioners. Since green tea has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, the current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of green tea extract local application in controlling postoperative pain following surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar teeth. Materials and Methods: In a double-blinded randomized controlled trial study with a split-mouth design, 32 patients underwent bilateral removal of impacted third molars in a 2-month time interval; afterward, the sterile gauzes impregnated with green tea extract and saline were applied randomly to the surgical sites. Postoperative pain was evaluated 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery using a questionnaire based on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the number of analgesics used after surgery. Data were subjected to exact and Chi-square tests with the significance level set at 0.05. Results: There was a decrease in the mean scores of the VAS and the mean number of analgesic consumptions in the first 2 days after surgery. Chi-square test results showed a significant reduction in the VAS scores after applying the green tea extract only 6 and 12 h after surgery (P < 0.05). Moreover, the number of analgesic consumptions was significantly lower in the green tea group compared to the control group. Conclusion: Green tea extract may be an appropriate and safe choice for postoperative pain control after surgical extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar teeth. © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.
