Does Hyaluronic Acid Affect Periodontal Treatment?

November 23, 2018 updated by: Hacer Sahin Aydinyurt, Yuzuncu Yıl University

Evaluation of Clinical and Biochemical Effects of Hyaluronic Acid on Periodontitis: A Split-mouth Randomized-controlled Trial

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of HA as an adjunct to scaling and root planning (SRP) on clinical parameters, periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and adenosine deaminase (ADA), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH) levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in patients with periodontitis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Design: A total of 24 Stage II-III periodontitis patients will be included in this split-mouth, randomized-controlled study. The study population will be divided into four groups: in Group 1 (SRP): SRP+ saline; in Group 2 (SRP+HAgel): SRP + HA gel; in Group 3 (SRP+HAmo): SRP+ HA mouthrinse; and in Group 4 (SRP+HAmo+HAgel): SRP+HA mouthrinse + HA gingival gel were applied. At baseline and Week 4 periodontal clinical parameters and PISA will be calculated. Also, GCF amount will be collected to evaluate ADA, CAT, and GSH by spectrophotometric analysis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Scaling and root planning (SRP)
Under local anesthesia, full-mouth SRP was performed within 24 h in a single or two sessions using ultrasonic and hand instruments (Gracey, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, IL, USA) by a single investigator (DA). Immediately after the SRP, HA gel (Gengigel, Hyaluronic acid, gingival gel, Ricefarma S.R.L, Italy) or mouthrinse was performed according to the groups' procedure. In Group 1, the periodontal sulcus was irrigated with saline solution after SRP.

EXPERIMENTAL: Hyaluronic acid gel (HA) and SRP
Group 2, after SRP was performed and irrigated with saline the area was dried with a soft air and, then, a gel containing HA was applied intrasulcular.
