Objectives: Coconut oil is a cheap and accessible oil for many people around the world. There are numerous advocates for the practice of oil pulling to prevent common oral diseases. Therefore determining the effectiveness of oil pulling with coconut oil could potentially have monumental benefits. This review aimed to assess the effect of oil pulling with coconut oil in improving oral health and dental hygiene. Data: We included randomized controlled trials comparing the effect of oil pulling with coconut oil on improving oral health and dental hygiene. No meta-analysis was performed due to the clinical heterogeneity and differences in the reporting of data among the included studies. Sources: Six electronic databases were screened: PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, AMED, CENTRAL and CINAHL. Study selection: Electronic searches yielded 42 eligible studies, of which four RCTs including 182 participants were included. The studies lasted between 7 and 14 days. Significant differences were demonstrated for a reduction in salivary bacterial colony count (p ¼ 0.03) and plaque index score (p¼<0.001). One study also demonstrated a significant difference in staining compared to using Chlorhexidine (p ¼ 0.0002). However, data was insufficient for conclusive findings, the quality of studies was mixed and risk of bias was high. Conclusion: The limited evidence suggests that oil pulling with coconut oil may have a beneficial effect on improving oral health and dental hygiene. Future clinical trials are of merit considering the universal availability of the intervention. Prospective research should have a robust design with rigorous execution to provide a higher quality of evidence. Clinical significance: Oil pulling with coconut oil could be used as a adjunct to normal preventative regimes to improve oral health and dental hygiene although further studies are needed to determine the level of effectiveness.

“…One of the efforts to reduce index debris and index plaque is to brush teeth using toothpaste properly and correctly. Toothpaste plays a role in cleaning food debris, preventing caries, and eliminating bad breath and being able to improve dental and oral hygiene [23]. Coconut butter as an alternative to toothpaste which is suitable for use for children because it is safe if swallowed and does not cause side effects because it is made from natural ingredients, namely coconut flesh which contains calcium, anti-bacterial, flavoring, and moisturizing ingredients that can improve oral hygiene [24].…”

The coconut tree is a multipurpose plant because all parts of it, from the roots to the coconut fruit, can be used for clothing, food and shelter. Coconut fruit contains calories, water, protein, carbohydrates, fat, calcium, iron, vitamins A, B and C as well as edible parts. Besides being processed into coconut oil (coconutoil) it also contains many benefits for human health, coconut can also be processed into Coconut Butter which can be made as toothpaste. Many elementary school age children still have dirty teeth in their oral cavity up to 67.3%. Therefore, researchers want to know the effect of toothpaste from coconut butter as a substitute for toothpaste on the reduction of index debris and index plaque in students in grades 3 to 5 in elementary schools.This type of research uses Quasi Experiment (Pseudo Experiment). The research design used a pre-test and post-pest approach. Pre-test. The samples in this study were 32 grade 3 students, 34 grade 4 students and 34 grade 5 students, so the total number of students was 100 students. Sampling using purposive sampling technique, and statistical tests using the Wilcoxom test. The results showed that the debris index before brushing teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste obtained an average value of 1.8, while for the debris index after brushing teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste, the average value was 0.4. Judging from the p Value = 0.000, the probability is smaller than 0.05 (p <0.05), so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, thus these results indicate that there is a significant difference between the debris index before brushing teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste. and index debris after brushing teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste. Plaque index before brushing teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste obtained an average value of 4.4, while for the index plaque after brushing your teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste, the average value is 2.4. Judging from the p value = 0.000, the probability is smaller than 0.05 (p <0.05), so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, thus these results indicate that there is a significant difference between the plaque index before brushing your teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste. and index plaque after brushing your teeth using coconut batter as a substitute for toothpaste
