Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Oil Pulling Therapy using coconut oil (CO) and sesame oil (SO) on patients with gingivitis. Material and Method: Forty patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group A utilized CO and Group B utilized SO. Each group was educated on their respective oil pulling techniques and continued their standard oral hygiene routines for a period of 30 days. Result: After 30 days, the mean plaque index for Group A (CO) reduced from 1.5 to 0.92, while Group B (SO) saw a reduction from 1.65 to 1.06, with both results indicating no statistical significance (p>0.05). For the gingival index, participants using CO experienced a decline from 1.12 to 0.90, and those using SO saw a decrease from 1.1 to 0.81, also statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Oil Pulling Therapy with both CO and SO resulted in a reduction of plaque and gingivitis symptoms over the course of one month.
