Abstract

Objectives: This study was to analyz the effects of comparative evaluation of the effects of oil pulling on periodontal indices. Methods: A total subjects were 38; control group (19 subjects) and experimental group (19 subjects). In the experimental group, coconut oil was provided and rinsed the mouth for about 10 minutes once a day. We evaluated possession rate of pocket depth (≥4 mm), possession rate of bleeding on exploring and possession rate of gingival recession (≥1 mm). Results: The possession rate of pocket depth (≥4 mm), bleeding on exploring and gingival recession (≥1 mm) significant difference in interaction between the group and measurement time. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that dental hygiene process and oil pulling specialists in care of periodontal diseases were effective mediation.
