Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a commercially-available oil rinse product (PerioPull™) on parameters of dental health among a sample of adults. PerioPull™ is commercially available and sold primarily from clinicians' offices. A 12-week pilot study will be conducted to achieve the purpose of this study. The research team hypothesizes that PerioPull™ will improve a variety of validated markers of dental health that are commonly used in clinical practice.

Trial Overview The study tests PerioPull™, an oil rinse product sold by dentists, over 12 weeks to see if it improves markers of dental health like gum disease and plaque levels.

Participants will swish 1 teaspoon (approx. 5 mL) of oil in the mouth for a minimum of 5 minutes after their normal brushing routine, as is suggested on the label of the bottle. They will spit out the oil and not rinse to allow for longer contact to the teeth and gums. This will be once a day for 12 weeks.
