One of the natural and traditional methods adopted for obtaining whiter teeth is oil pulling. This is a simple and cost efficient method which has been used for decades and advised for overall maintenance of oral hygiene. However, there have been contradicting results regarding the efficacy of oil pulling on tooth whitening in previous studies. In this study, natural teeth (premolar teeth) were collected and divided into four groups and preserved in different mediums for 24 hours for a period of seven days to study the effects on hard tissue enamel. The teeth were observed every 24 hours and the difference in tooth whitening was compared using a tooth shade guide and evaluated for observable changes in colour.Keywords
