Abstract

We report a case report of 34 year old male who came with complaint of halitosis and loose tooth. Examination revealed poor oral hygiene with sub gingival calculus. Diagnosis of chronic generalized gingivitis with localized periodontitis was made. A strict oral hygiene protocol was developed for maintaining oral hygiene status and oil pulling therapy was started as an integral part of the therapy. We found a significant improvement in mobility of tooth due to bone regeneration and improved halitosis scores. From this case report, it is evident that oil pulling therapy as an adjunct to oral hygiene protocolis efficient in treating periodontal diseases in future.
