Sponsor's own description

Oil pulling" or "oil swishing" originates from ancient Ayurvedic medicine in India and now practiced in other parts of the world as a form of complementary and alternative medicine. It has been described as Kavalagraha or Gandhoosha in the ayurvedic texts of Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. It is a procedure that involves swishing oil in the mouth a period of 15 min, before spitting it out. In addition to its systemic benefits, oil pulling therapy has also benefits on oral health. The oil pulling therapy can be performed by using edible oils like sesame oil, sunflower oil and coconut oil. However, there is only one study in the literature comparing the effect of oil pulling therapy using coconut oil versus sesame oil on plaque-induced gingivitis and the results were in favor of coconut oil. In order to clarify the gap in the literature on this field, this study was designed to compare the plaque-inhibiting effects of oil pulling therapy with sesame oil or coconut oil using 4- day plaque regrowth study model.
