30
Q

Practice of holding a tablespoon of edible oil (coconut, sunflower, sesame, olive) inside the mouth and ‘pulling’ the oil through the teeth, anywhere from 1-5 minutes, up to 20 minutes or longer
Ancient, traditional folk remedy, practices in India and Southern Asia.

A

Oil Pulling

31
Q
Multifactorial disease
Can be altered by secondary factors: fluoride, saliva flow, etc.
Bacterial infection, followed by acid attack
Remin/demin
Controlled by multiple risk factors
Trends
Decline: fluoride
Increase: fermentable carbohydrate
A

Caries

32
Q

 stabilize high concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions, together with fluoride ions, at the tooth surface by binding to pellicle and plaque
The ions are supposedly freely bio-available and can diffuse into enamel subsurface lesions, thus promoting re-mineralization
Evidence suggests that, under highly favorable conditions, these agents may re-mineralize lesions to a low/modest extent. There is need for independent, randomized, controlled studies, under clinically relevant conditions
