绿茶中的抗氧化剂可以减少牙周疾病

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and has been associated with the progression of other diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.牙周疾病是一种慢性炎症性疾病，会影响到支持牙齿的牙龈和骨骼，并且与其他疾病的进展有关，例如心血管疾病和糖尿病。 The ability of green tea in reducing symptoms of periodontal disease may be due to the presence of the antioxidant catechin.绿茶减轻牙周疾病症状的能力可能归因于抗氧化剂儿茶素的存在。 Previous research has demonstrated antioxidants' ability to reduce inflammation in the body, and the indicators of periodontal disease measured in the study, periodontal pocket depth (PD), clinical attachment loss (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP), suggest the existence of an inflammatory response to periodontal bacteria in the mouth.先前的研究表明抗氧化剂具有减轻体内炎症的能力，并且该研究中测量的牙周疾病指标，牙周袋深度（PD），临床附着力丧失（CAL）和探查出血（BOP）表明存在对口腔中牙周细菌的炎症反应。 By interfering with the body's inflammatory response to periodontal bacteria, green tea may in fact help to promote periodontal health, and guard against further disease.通过干扰人体对牙周细菌的炎症反应，绿茶实际上可能有助于促进牙周健康，并预防进一步的疾病。
