Gingival Destruction
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of hyaluronic acid gel in papilla augmentation.
Detailed description
Assessing the clinical efficacy of Hyaluronic acid hydrogel in papilla augmentation: A clinical study. In Test group, Hyaluronic acid hydrogel will be injected using a syringe into the interdental papillary deficiency site. In Control group, saline placebo gel will be injected into the interdental papillary deficiency site using a syringe.
Interventions
Hyaluronic acid is involved in tissue repair and wound healing by stimulating cell proliferation, migration and interaction with several growth factors. Furthermore, HA has a crucial role in space-filling owing to its hygroscopic nature.
