Summary

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is an addition to the local chemotherapeutic agents. Hyaluronic acid was discovered by Meyer and Palmer. HA is widely found in the extracellular matrix and it plays an essential role in controlling cell behavior including random motility, metabolic reactions, chemotaxis, proliferation and invasion. HA is released by many cells including fibroblasts (Dahiya et al., 2013).

Hyaluronic acid can be found in the skin, eyes and the periodontium. In addition, it appears in body fluids like serum, gingival crevicular fluid and saliva. Hyaluronic acid is created in the periodontium by HA synthase enzyme present in numerous cells like fibroblast and cementoblast (Fraser et al., 1997).

There is evidence that hyaluronic acid is bacteriostatic, fungostatic, anti-inflammatory, osteoconduvtive and pro-angiogenic. These dissimilar properties illustrate the ability of hyaluronic acid to be an ideal material for wound healing (Carlson et al., 2004).

PROCEDURE

non surgical periodontal therapy

NSPT, with or without adjunctive therapies, is an effective treatment for periodontitis. It reduces PD and results in formation of some new attachment; however, it also has several limitations, and surgical therapy might be required to control inflammation and optimize outcomes. When used for non-surgical scaling and root planing, periodontal curettes can reach a mean PD of up to approximately 5.5 mm. The mean PD in which a plaque-free and calculus-free surface can be established is \<4 mm
