Abstract

Hyaluronic acid acts as a barrier to plaque bacteria and fulfills several extracellular functions vital to preserving healthy gingival tissue.

To evaluate the efficacy of 0.2% Hyaluronic Acid Comprising Gel (Gingegel), combined with motivation, instruction, and scaling polishing to decrease gum inflammation among patients with gingivitis.

This was a parallel-design, double-blind, randomized control trial involving plaque-induced gingivitis patients 19–40 years of age. The sample was divided into two groups: Group 1 (n=20) was the test group, receiving motivation, instruction, scaling, polishing, and Gingegel application, and Group 2 (n=30) was the control group, receiving motivation, instruction, scaling, and polishing only. Each patient’s plaque and gingival indices were recorded at baseline and after two weeks of treatment.

There was a statistically significant enhancement in the clinical parameters of both groups after two weeks, including a reduction in the Plaque index (PLI) from 0.967 at baseline to 0.663 after two weeks and mean reductions in the Gingival Index (GI) from 0.994 at baseline to 0.725 after two weeks (p <0.001).

There was a statistically significant decrease in GI of the total sample (including the test and control groups) at baseline and after two weeks.
