Summary

The aim of the present split-mouth study was to investigate the effect of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in improving the post-extraction tooth socket healing in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2.

The null hypothesis was that HA can significantly improve the post extractive healing of diabetic patients compared with no treatment.

36 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 requiring bilateral extraction of the homologous, not included, teeth were enrolled. After the extractions carried out in the same appointment, following the split-mouth design of the study, one site was randomly assigned to the test (T) group, while the other one was assigned to the control group (C).

T group included: Post-operative application of Hyaluronic acid gels 3 times per day

C group included: no treatment.

Patients were then followed after 3, 7,14 and 21 days and the healing of each socket was evaluated and compared between the 2 groups.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
  • Delayed Wound Healing
  • Tooth Extraction Status Nos

Interventions

DEVICE

Hyaluronic acid gel

Post-operative application of Hyaluronic acid gel 3 times per day (8 hours distance between each application) for 7 days after oral hygiene and without swallowing, eating or drinking for one hour after the application, as follows: "wash your hands thoroughly before each application, apply a layer of gel on the injured mucosa, massage with a finger in order to facilitate spreading of the product over the treated area".
