About this trial
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a commercially-available oil rinse product (PerioPull™) on parameters of dental health among a sample of adults. PerioPull™ is commercially available and sold primarily from clinicians' offices.
A 12-week pilot study will be conducted to achieve the purpose of this study. The research team hypothesizes that PerioPull™ will improve a variety of validated markers of dental health that are commonly used in clinical practice.
