Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. Compare the effects of gargling with green tea on the oral health of stroke patients?
2. Compare whether gargling with green tea can reduce halitosis in stroke patients?
3. Compare whether gargling with green tea can reduce plaque index in stroke patients?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Before the intervention of green tea mouthwash, patients in the experimental group and the control group were tested for oral health status, bad breath and plaque degree, and received routine brushing guidelines.
