“…A further study 34 was excluded because we were unable to contact the author to clarify whether the paper met our inclusion criteria. Thus, five studies (Asokan et al, 10,8,35 Saravanan et al, 36 Sood et al 37 ) comprising of 160 participants were included in the review.…”

“…Sood et al 37 found a statistically significant within-group reduction in ORG2 in all three groups (OIL and CHX: p < 0.001; PLA: p = 0.014). Sood et al 37 also found a significant difference between OIL, CHX and PLA groups post intervention (p = 0.001), with post hoc testing demonstrating a significant reduction in ORG2 scores in both OIL and CHX groups, when compared with PLA group (Mean difference (MD) 1.4 and 1.75 between PLA and CHX, and PLA and OIL, respectively; p < 0.001). Asokan et al 35 observed a significant within-group reduction in ORG2 in the OIL group (p = 0.025), but not in the CHX group (p = 0.16); however, no difference was found between OIL and CHX groups post intervention (p = 0.87).…”

Sood et al 37 found that in OIL, CHX and Placebo (PLA) groups, there was a statistically significant within-group reduction in PI score for all three groups (p < 0.001); however, no significant difference in post intervention PI score between OIL and control groups was found (OIL 2.41 (0.49), CHX 2.19 (0.44), PLA 2.27 (0.32); p = 0.38). Saravanan et al 36 reported a significant reduction in PI score in the OIL group (mean reduction 13.1%; p < 0.01), but not in the control group (CTRL); results of between-group differences were not specified.…”

“…In a study conducted [18], VCO used in oil pulling had reduced 22.79% colony growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) while chlorohexidine showed 25.72% reduction of colonial growth. Among few studies conducted on coconut oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, and other edible oils against chlorhexidine, results showed that oil pulling is able to reduce halitosis and reduce the bacteria count which causes it to drop to a significant amount, reducing gingivitis and plaque as effectively as chlorhexidine [18][19][20][21]. Furthermore, oil pulling has advantages over chlorhexidine that oil pulling does not leaves staining, no lingering aftertaste, and most importantly no allergy [19].…”

Abstract-Demineralization causes plaque calcium (Ca) to dissolve out from the enamel. Prolonged condition would allow enamel caries to worsen. To reverse the condition via remineralization, abundant of free available Ca and phosphorus (P) in the saliva are required. Thus, daily diet with high Ca and P content are important to ensure the continuous supply of Ca and P. Being one of Malaysia's major component of medical applications and daily consumptions, virgin coconut oil (VCO), coconut milk (CM), and coconut water (CW) are yet to be discovered their mineral content especially Ca and P. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the Ca and P content in VCO, CM, and CW. Inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used in analyzing the Ca and P content in VCO, CM, and CW. After acid digestion (Method 3051a) using Teflon vessels under 170°C, the samples were diluted and the readings were compared. The Ca concentration in descending order VCO (0.47±0.15), CW (0.45±0.05) and CM (0.44±0.15), while P concentration in descending order is as follows CM (0.25±0.05), CW (0.09±0.05), and VCO (0.05±0.06). With no huge difference in Ca content, CM is considered to exhibit a high Ca and P content in total. In conclusion, CM exhibits a promising remineralization potential on enamel caries with high Ca and P content.

Objectives In our research, we evaluated the effect of coconut and sesame oils using the microneedling technique on gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation among patients with gingivitis by creating microholes in the gingiva to facilitate the concentration and entrance of the oils through gingival tissues. Materials and Methods Twenty‐four patients with clinically diagnosed plaque‐induced gingivitis were selected from Vision dental hospital, Riyadh, KSA, and assigned to one of three groups randomly; group A consisted of eight participants who were treated with dermapen and topical coconut oil, group B had eight participants who were treated with dermapen and topical sesame oil, and group C involved eight patients who received periodontal mechanical treatment only. Postintervention gingival status and plaque status for all participants were assessed using a modified average gingival index and a plaque index at Weeks 1, 2, and 4. Results Groups A and B experienced highly significant reductions in gingival indices, while group C showed reduced scores but was not significantly notable. On the contrary, the three studied groups exhibited no significant difference in the reduction of plaque indices when compared altogether. Conclusion Our study demonstrated an effective novel technique that revealed a noticeable improvement in gingival status and a reduction in the average gingival index and plaque index.
