Treatment of gums with hyaluronic acid

The role of hyaluronic acid in the cure for gum diseases

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance, which occurs everywhere in the animal world. It is a main component of the matrix of tissues, where cells are found. In recent years a synthetic version (hyaluron) has been created, which is suitable for healing purposes as well. The therapeutical application of hyaluronic acid in dentistry is still considered to be new, however its effects of being instrumental in healing and reducing inflammation are well-known and can be exploited. Hyaluronic acid is administered on the inflamed areas in the form of gel. Its active ingredient reduces gum bleeding, stimulates the regeneration of the gums and protects the mucous membrane from infections.

Let’s not forget though that the basis of all kinds of gum treatment is the removal of tartar and plaque deposited on the teeth and maintenance of the plaque free condition.

      • injured gum due to different interventions (tooth extraction etc.)
