Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Oil pulling is the swishing oil in the mouth for oral and systemic health benefits. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of sesame oil and ozonated sesame oil against Streptococcus mutans and to compare the effect of sesame oil, ozonated sesame oil with chlorhexidine mouth wash on oral health status of adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy five 12-14 year old school children with DMF Index < 3 were randomly assigned to one of the following groups with 25 children in each group. Group I (sesame oil); Group II (ozonated sesame oil) and Group III (chlorhexidine mouth wash). Debris index, Calculus index, OHI-S, Plaque index were recorded and baseline salivary samples were collected for Streptococcus mutans count. Group I and II were subjected to oil pulling with sesame oil and ozonated sesame oil and Group III with chlorhexidine mouthwash during school hours. Reassessment of the index scores and collection of saliva for measuring the Streptococcus mutans count was done after 15 days and 1 month. The scores obtained from all the three groups were tabulated, compared, and analysed statistically. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant reduction in Debris index, Calculus index, OHI-S, Plaque index and Streptococcus mutans count in all the groups after 15 days when compared to the baseline. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: The present randomized controlled trial was conducted in the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, K.S.R Institute of Dental Science and Research (KSRIDSR). The study was planned and organized in association with a Government aided school in Tiruchengode to evaluate the antibacterial effect of sesame oil and ozonated sesame oil against Streptococcus mutans and to compare the effect of sesame oil, ozonated sesame oil with chlorhexidine mouth wash on oral health status of adolescent children. Seventy five adolescents aged 12- 14 years with DMFT/dmft Index < 3 were included in the study. Children were allocated into three different groups in the ratio of 1:1:1 with 25 children in each group. Group I was provided with (sesame oil) and Group II (ozonated sesame oil) and Group III (chlorhexidine mouth wash). Baseline debris index, calculus index, plaque index were recorded for all adolescents of three groups. Stimulated salivary samples were collected for the baseline Streptococcus mutans count. Then the adolescents were provided with their respective mouth rinses. The procedure was continued for 15 days, and the intervention was stopped after 15 days and debris index, calculus index, plaque index were re-evaluated and postoperative salivary samples were collected at 15 days and after a month. Saliva cultures were done in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar and colony count was done after 12 hours of incubation period. The results were tabulated and statistically analyzed. The following findings can be inferred from the study: • In-vitro evaluation of mouth rinses against S. mutans showed inhibitory zones against ozonated sesame oil and chlorhexidine mouth wash. The maximum zone of inhibition was observed for chlorhexidine mouth wash followed by ozonated sesame oil. Sesame oil did not show any zone of inhibition against S. mutans. • All the three groups showed significant reduction in debris index, calculus index, plaque index and streptococcus mutans count after 15 days. • Significant differences in scores were observed in all the groups when the values obtained were compared from baseline to 15 days and baseline to 30 days. • There was increase in debris index, calculus index, plaque index and streptococcus mutans in all three groups at the end of 30 days but the values did not increase to baseline level. • No significant differences were observed in debris index, calculus index and streptococcus mutans count between the groups at the end of 30 days. • There was a significant difference in plaque index after 15 days and 30 days. After 15 days ozonated oil group showed highest reduction in plaque score while chlorhexidine showed highest reduction at the end of 30 days.
