    This document summarizes three randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of oil pulling using sesame oil or coconut oil to the gold standard mouthwash chlorhexidine. The first trial found that oil pulling reduced levels of Streptococcus mutans bacteria but was less effective than chlorhexidine. The second trial found that oil pulling was as effective as chlorhexidine at reducing oral malodor and associated bacteria. The third trial also found oil pulling significantly reduced S. mutans counts, though not as much as chlorhexidine. Overall, the studies suggest oil pulling can be an effective natural alternative to chlorhexidine for improving oral health.

    THE EFFECTS OF OIL PULLING

    COMPARED TO CHLORHEXIDINE
    ON ORAL BACTERIA

    MARY HOWARD AND TAYLOR MOZZONE


    WHAT IS OIL PULLING?
    • TRADITIONAL INDIAN METHOD OF ORAL CARE.
    • HISTORICALLY CALLED KAVALA GRAHA OR KAVALA GANDOOSHA

    • BENEFICIAL CLAIMS TO ORAL HEALTH INCLUDE: WHITER TEETH, FRESHER BREATH, PREVENTION OF CARIES
    AND PERIODONTAL DISEASE THROUGH BACTERICIDAL AND VIRICIDAL PROPERTIES, AND DETOXIFICATION
    OF THE BLOOD.
    • CLAIMS ALSO INCLUDE BENEFITS TO SORE THROAT, ANOREXIA, ARTHRITIS, MIGRAINES, ASTHMA, AND
    HEART DISORDERS.
    • GOLD STANDARD: CHLORHEXIDINE RINSE
    HOW TO OIL PULL

    • KAVALA GANDOOSHA: THE MOUTH IS FILLED COMPLETELY WITH OIL SO THAT GARGLING IS NOT
    POSSIBLE
    • KAVALA GRAHA: ONLY 1 TABLESPOON OF OIL IS USED
    • ANY TYPE OF EDIBLE OIL - SESAME, SUNFLOWER, AND COCONUT OIL ARE MOST POPULAR
    • IN THE MORNING, ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, OIL IS PLACED IN THE MOUTH, SWISHED, AND PULLED
    BETWEEN THE TEETH FOR 15-20 MINUTES
    • OIL WILL BECOME MILKY WHITE AND THIN AND IS EXPECTORATED WITHOUT SWALLOWING
    • SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY TOOTHBRUSHING AND CAN BE REPEATED UP TO 3 TIMES DAILY
    RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL #1

    • 20 MALE ADOLESCENTS AGED 16-18 IN INDIA


    • 2 WEEK INTERVENTION PERIOD
    • EFFECT OF OIL PULLING ON S. MUTANS COUNT IN PLAQUE AND SALIVA
    • GROUP 1: SESAME OIL PULLING, GROUP 2: CHLORHEXIDINE RINSE
    • MEASURED LEVELS OF S. MUTANS IN PLAQUE AND SALIVA USING A TEST STRIP @ 24 HOUR, 48 HOUR, 1 WEEK
    AND 2 WEEKS
    • CHLORHEXIDINE GROUP SHOWED A REDUCTION IN S. MUTANS AT ALL FOUR DATA COLLECTIONS
    • SESAME OIL PULLING GROUP SHOWED A REDUCTION AT WEEK 1 AND 2 DATA COLLECTIONS ONLY
    • CONCLUSION: OIL PULLING DOES REDUCE S. MUTANS BUT NOT AS EFFECTIVELY AS CHLORHEXIDINE RINSE
    RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL #2

    • 60 FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENTS IN INDIA


    • 3 WEEK INTERVENTION PERIOD
    • ORAL MALODOR AND MICROORGANISMS THAT CAUSE IT
    • GROUP 1: SESAME OIL PULLING, GROUP 2: CHLORHEXIDINE RINSE, GROUP 3: WATER WITH DYE PLACEBO
    • MEASURED PLAQUE AND GINGIVAL INDEX, ORGANOLEPTIC SCORES, ANAEROBIC BACTERIAL COLONY COUNTS
    • STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN ALL AREAS WHEN COMPARING EACH GROUP TO PLACEBO
    • NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTERVENTION GROUPS
    • CONCLUSION: OIL PULLING IS EQUALLY AS EFFECTIVE AS CHLORHEXIDINE IN REDUCING ORAL MALODOR
    AND MICROORGANISMS CAUSING IT
    RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL #1

    • 60 COLLEGE STUDENTS IN INDIA


    • 2 INTERVENTION PERIOD
    • STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS REDUCTION
    • GROUP A: COCONUT OIL PULLING, GROUP B: CHLORHEXIDINE RINSE, GROUP C: DISTILLED WATER “CONTROL”
    • SALIVA SAMPLES AND COLONY COUNTS
    • STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN S. MUTANS IN BOTH STUDY GROUPS
    • REDUCTION IN MEAN S. MUTANS COUNTS MORE IN CHLORHEXIDINE GROUP THAN OIL PULLING GROUP
    • CONCLUSION: OIL PULLING CAN BE USED AS A NATURAL, EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO CHLORHEXIDINE
    CONCLUSION
    • LITTLE RESEARCH IS AVAILABLE ON TRADITIONAL MEDICAL PRACTICES – LIKE OIL PULLING
    • NATURAL MEDICINE BECOMING VERY POPULAR WORLDWIDE
    • CURRENT RESEARCH: OIL PULLING REDUCES ORAL BACTERIA AND CAN BE A NATURAL, SAFE ALTERNATIVE TO
    CHLORHEXIDINE
    • PROS, CONS, OPINIONS
    • OIL PULLING
    • TAKES TOO LONG, REQUIRES A LOT OF MOTIVATION
    • EASILY AVAILABLE
    • 5-6X MORE COST EFFECTIVE
    • CHLORHEXIDINE
    • LINGERING AFTERTASTE
    • STAINING
    • CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTION

    • MORE RESEARCH NEEDED!!
