A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This pilot study aims to assess the effects of a commercially-available oil rinse product, PerioPull™, on various markers of dental health in adults. Over a 12-week period, participants will use the oil rinse and undergo evaluations at baseline, six weeks, and at the end of the study. The study hypothesizes that PerioPull™ will improve dental health parameters, such as plaque and gingival indices, while being a safer alternative to traditional dental treatments. Participants will be recruited from a clinical practice specializing in periodontics.
