Hyaluronic acid in Dentoalveolar regeneration: Biological rationale and clinical applications.

BACKGROUND

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is found in different locations in the periodontium, including mineralized tissues (i.e., cementum and alveolar bone) and non-mineralized tissues (i.e., gingiva and periodontal ligament). In addition, it seems to play an essential part in regulating the underlying mechanisms involved in tissue inflammatory reactions and wound healing. HA has the potential to regulate periodontal tissue regeneration and treat periodontal disease.

AIM

The current review of the literature was conducted to assess how HA plays its part in periodontal therapy and examine the contemporary literature's viewpoint on its use in periodontal regeneration.

CONCLUSION

HA has a multifunctional character in periodontal regeneration, and healing and appears to provide promising outcomes in different periodontal regenerative applications.
