This cross-sectional observational study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of green tea and chlorhexidine mouthwashes in reducing post-extraction complications such as pain and bleeding. The studied sample consisted of 80 people with an average age of 43.67 (±4.78) years. Tooth extraction is shown to all participants. After the tooth extraction, the green tea group was advised to bite the pictures of the gauge into the green tea, take a bite, and rinse their mouths with green tea mouthwash the next day. Subjects with another group bite soaked in chlorhexidine saline solution after tooth extraction and chlorhexidine mouthwash. Operation time, hemostasis time, VAS pain after tooth extraction and total number of analgesics were recorded. Descriptive statistics were calculated and chi-square t-tests and independent samples were performed using SPSS 22. The results showed that there was no significant difference in age, sex, and time of surgery between the two groups. The mean VAS was significantly lower in the green tea group compared to the chlorhexidine group. In addition, the green tea group also showed a shorter time for complete hemostasis and less analgesic consumption than the chlorhexidine group. It can be concluded that green tea is significantly effective in reducing the time of complete hemostasis and pain after tooth extraction. Thus, by conducting additional studies, green tea can be found to be therapeutically useful for the treatment of post-extraction bleeding and pain.
