Abstract

The emollient and restructuring action exerted on the mucous membranes by hyaluronic acid is of particular significance. This is thanks to its reparative (it stimulates angiogenesis) and soothing properties (hyaluronic acid is used in wound care to improve the processes of wound healing), which are effective in treating the symptoms of local inflammation and irritation. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential efficacy of nebulized hyaluronic acid in the management of chronic periodontitis in adults. The results of the statistical analysis demonstrate that there was a slight improvement in the measurement of pocket depth in the side treated with HA at time 0 (pre-treatment) and time 1 (15 days post-treatment). Furthermore, the difference between bleeding on probing as measured at time 0 and time 1 indicated an improvement on both sides, with a slightly greater improvement on the side treated with HA.
