AIM: To evaluate efficacy of oil pulling on caries activity of Streptococcus mutans.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomized controlled experiment was designed, with 60 children chosen at random. Following that, the participants were divided into three groups-group A: oil pulling using cold pressed coconut oil (Perfora*); group B: commercially available fluoridated mouthwash (Kidodent*); group C: distilled water as control. Saliva samples were collected at baseline, immediately, and 2 weeks postoperatively. To assess the effectiveness of coconut oil, fluoride mouthwash, and distilled water, microbiological examination was carried out and colonies were counted.
RESULTS: Both group A (oil pulling with coconut oil) and group B (commercially available Kidodent mouthwash) experienced a statistically significant decrease in colony count.
CONCLUSION: Oil pulling is found to be as effective as commercially available fluoride mouthwash and can be used in conjunction with other aids for maintaining oral hygiene in children.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Oil pulling is a natural, economical, and organic alternative to medicated mouthwashes; hence, it can be used as an aid for maintaining oral hygiene.
