Journal Title: Journal of Academy of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the natural and traditional methods adopted for obtaining whiter teeth is oil pulling. This is a simple and cost ef- ficient method which has been used for decades and advised for overall maintenance of oral hygiene. However, there havebeen contradicting results regarding the efficacy of oil pulling on tooth whitening in previous studies. In this study, naturalteeth (premolar teeth) were collected and divided into four groups and preserved in different mediums for 24 hours for aperiod of seven days to study the effects on hard tissue enamel. The teeth were observed every 24 hours and the differencein tooth whitening was compared using a tooth shade guide and evaluated for observable changes in colour.
