To date, there are no studies assessing the impact of mouth rinses on the oral health-related quality of life in healthy patients with gingivitis. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of oil pulling on the OHRQoL using the 14-item OHIP questionnaire (OHIP-14). The null hypothesis stated, that there would be no significant difference in OHIP-14 scores between individuals with gingivitis performing oil pulling with sesam-based oil and those using distilled water over an eight-week period.

| OHIP | The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), a questionnaire with 14 questions, evaluates the impact of oral health on quality of life across seven domains: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and speech limitation. Each of the 14 items is rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). A total score of zero reflects the best possible oral health-related quality of life, while a score of 56 indicates the poorest. The validated German version of the questionnaire was used | first follow up after 4 weeks, full study duration 8 weeks |
