An interventional study of White tea and Wheat grass solution in White Spot Lesions [Initial Caries] on Smooth Surface of Tooth, sponsored by Al-Azhar University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 15 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-16.
Sponsored by Al-Azhar University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The current study aimed to evaluate the color change potential of wheat grass and white tea on post orthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs). Materials and Methods: A total of 12 patients were divided into two main groups A1 and A2 according to type of treatment agent (n=6). The A1 group used 10% white tea solution while the A2 group used 10% wheat grass solution. Shade evaluation was conducted using VITA Easyshade V spectrophotometer. Baseline L a b values of WSLs were detected right after orthodontic bracket removal. Patients were requested to rinse with the treatment agent for 1 minute, twice per day. The mean L,a,b values were recorded after 1 month and after 3 months . ΔE values were calculated between baseline, 1 month and 3 months after the treatment agent application and subjected to statistical analysis using one way ANOVA with p>0.05. Also, Standardized photographs were taken at baseline, after 1 and 3 months. Each WSL was photographed twice with the 1st photograph taken of wet teeth and the 2nd one after prolonged air-drying in order to perform ICDAS II scoring.
