Abstract:
The oral cavity serves as a focal point of entry for pathogens into the systemic circulation. Aim: Aim of the study is to improve oral health. Objectives: To treat bleeding gums, check gingival status with gingival and plaque index and check the microbial load at baseline and after 45 days. Materials and method: Take one tablespoon of sesame oil 500ml in the mouth on an empty stomach in the morning. With the mouth closed and chin up, without speed or effort, sip, suck, and pull the oil through the teeth in a relaxed way, and also exercise the jaw as if chewing, for a period of 15 to 20 min. Do not gargle in throat. Initially the oil is viscous but slowly it turns thin and milky white as you continue. Result: The mean number of bacterial colonies, gingival index score and plaque index score was declined after 45 days of oil pulling. Conclusion: The CFU (Colony Forming Unit) count and the plaque and gingival score correspond, showing a connection between plaque and gingivitis and the number of oral bacteria in the mouth. These findings show that pulling treatment is an effective preventive strategy that can become a daily oral hygiene practise.
