Abstract

Objectives: This study performed a comparative evaluation of the effects of oil pulling on the periodontal health of smokers. Methods: The experimental (15 subjects) and control (15 subjects) were provided coconut oil and distilled water, respectively. We evaluated the pocket depth (≥4 mm), bleeding on exploration, and Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index in both groups following the interventions. Clinical parameters were assessed at baseline, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Dry mouth and oral health-related quality of life were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks. Results: Bleeding on exploring in the control group decreased from 26.17 to 18.33 and from 26.07 to 12.53 in the experimental group (p=0.030), with significant differences in measurement time (p<0.001), and the interaction between group and measurement time (p=0.002). The PHP index in the control group decreased from 24.50 to 16.17 and from 24.00 to 9.83 in the experimental group (p=0.027), with significant differences in measurement time (p<0.001), and the interaction between group and measurement time (p=0.001). Furthermore, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in dry mouth (p<0.001) and a significant increase in oral health-related quality of life (p=0.025). Conclusions: The coconut oil intervention positively affected the periodontal health of smokers.

연구목적: 본 연구는 만성치주질환이 있는 흡연자를 대상으로 4주 동안 코코넛 오일을 중재하여 치주건강 개선 효과를 파악하고 흡연자의 치주관리에 활용될 수 있도록 학문적 근거를 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 본 연구의 대상은 G 지역에 소재하고 있는 1개 치과 의료기관에 2022년 8월 5일부터 2022년 10월 20일까지 내원한 흡연자 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과: BOP와 PHP index는 그룹(p=0.030, 0.027)과 시간(p<0.001)에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었고, 상호작용효과도 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p=0.002, 0.001). 구강건조감과 구강건강관련 삶의 질은 실험군에서 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001, 0.180). 결론: 코코넛 오일 중재는 흡연자의 치주건강을 위한 효율적인 프로그램으로 효과가 입증되었고, 흡연자의 치주건강에 기여할 수 있는 체계적인 프로그램들이 지속적으로 개발되고 연구될 것을 기대한다.
