Background: Oil pulling is an oral hygiene practice and is described in the ancient Ayurvedic literature. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 subjects with plaque related mild – moderate gingivitis in the age Group of 18-25 was recruited and they were divided into two Groups as Group A and B, each with 15 subjects. Group A subjects were advised to practice coconut oil pulling therapy and Group B subjects were advised to use Chlorhexidine Gluconate 0.12% solution for 4 weeks as an adjuvant practice along with routine tooth brushing. Estimation of salivary Aspartate Aminotransferase was done at pre and post intervention stage for both the study Groups by using semi auto analyser. Results: Statistically significant reduction in the reduction in the salivary Aspartate Aminotransferase level was seen at post intervention stage in Group A and Group B compared to preintervention stage. Comparison of salivary Aspartate Aminotransferase level between Group A subjects and Group B subjects at pre and post intervention stage revealed no significant difference. Our study results show that oil pulling utilizing coconut oil is effective in reducing the severity of plaque induced mild-moderate gingivitis and the effect is comparable to 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing plaque formation and gingivitis. Conclusion: Oil pulling utilizing coconut oil is an effective adjuvant oral hygiene practice in reducing the severity of plaque induced mild – moderate gingivitis along with the routine oral hygiene measure. Coconut oil pulling practice could be a potential alternative to chlorhexidine mouth wash for long term use.Keywords

Aim: Haller’s cells are developmental variants of anterior ethmoidal sinus which are also known as infraorbital ethmoidal cells or orbito ethmoidal cells or maxilla ethmoidal cells. These anatomic variants of sinonasal regions pneumatize inferiorly and medial to the orbital floor and towards the inferior of maxillary sinus. Hence, the present study was to determine the prevalence of Haller's cells using CT PNS images. Objectives: The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of Haller’s cells according to age and gender, to evaluate the relationship between Haller’s cells and maxillary sinusitis and to correlate between Haller’s cells and ipsilateral orbital floor dehiscence. Methods: CT PNS images of 60 patients within the age group of 16-75 years were retrieved, screened by a radiologist and analyzed. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis analyzed with statistical software package, SPSS version 16.0. and p value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of Haller's cells in the present study was found to be 48%. There was no statistically significant association between the presence of Haller cells with respect to age and gender. There was a significant association between Haller cells with maxillary sinusitis and orbital floor dehiscence. Conclusion: This study has attempted to find the prevalence of Haller’s cells which will be helpful for dentists in specifying the differential diagnosis for Oro facial pain and maxillary sinusitis.Keywords
