Sponsor's own description
The goal of this clinical trials to learn about potential additives in reducing dental plaque. The main questions it aims to answer is: • is there a difference in the plaque reducing effect of oil pulling with sesame-based oil compared to rinsing with distilled water? Participants will rinse with 15 ml of their allocated liquid for 15 min every morning for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare sesame-based oil against distilled water to see if there is a difference in the plaque reducing effect.
