Sesame oil inhibited the growth of both mycelial and yeast form of C. albicans. However, the effect differed between strains. The effect of oral cleansing with sesame oil was not clarified in murine oral candidisis model. Application of sesame oil kept moisture of oral mucosa in healthy adults. No discomfort was not reported after application of sesame oil to oral cavity in healthy adult and elderly volunteers. Two elderly who required nursing care in home received oral cleansing with sesame oil three times a day. Twenty days after the intervention improvement of color and moisture of oral mucosa and decrease in number of gram-negative rods in oral cavity were observed in one participant.
