Oil Pulling Whitening Mouthwash Study
This study is looking for healthy adults with tooth stains to see how well an "oil pulling" oral rinse whitens teeth. You would use one of three mouthwashes daily for 8 weeks: GuruNanda natural Oil Pulling oral rinse, Therabreath Whitening Mouthwash - Dazzling Mint, or a GuruNanda water-based non-whitening mouthwash. Researchers will measure your tooth shade at the beginning and end of the study to see which product is most effective. To join, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old, in good health, and have at least two natural front teeth with a certain level of stain.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 120 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and will use their assigned mouthwash without knowing which one it is (double-blinded).
- What's involved
- You would use a mouthwash once daily before bed for 8 weeks. You will also use a provided toothbrush and toothpaste twice daily. Tooth shade will be measured at the start and end of the 8-week period.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Tooth shade will be measured at baseline and again at 8 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Measurement by the VITA Easyshade Advance 4.0Baseline to 8 weeks
A probe tip is placed on an area of the enamel surface that has underlying dentin and a measurement made of the shade
- VITA Bleachguide 3-D Master Shade GuideBaseline to 8 weeks
A single examiner will perform visual tooth shade assessment under standard lighting conditions. Tooth shade will be scored on selected anterior teeth . The tab marking system includes interpolated shade guide units (sgu) ranging from 1 to 29 sgu with a lower score indicating more whitening. Subject shade rank scores will be determined for each visit by calculating the mean value across the selected anterior teeth scored.
- Lobene Stain IndexBaseline to 8 weeks
Measure of intensity and extent of extrinsic stain on the facial surfaces of 12 anterior teeth. The teeth are divided into regions which are scored separately. Intensity is scored from 0 (no stain) to 3 (heavy stain; dark brown to black) and extent is scored from 0 (no stain) to 3 (stain covering over two-thirds of the region). Scores will be averaged for each subject for intensity (sum of all intensity scores/all sites graded) and extent (sum of all extent scores/all sites graded), and the composite stain score calculated by multiplying the mean stain intensity by the mean stain extent.
