THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE APPLICATION OF PREPARATIONS BASED ON HYALURONIC ACID IN IMPLANTOLOGY

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Periodontology
• Biomaterials Science

Background:

• Dental implant complications, such as peri-implant mucositis, are increasingly prevalent.
• Effective management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid (Hy+Al Gel) in managing peri-implant mucositis.
• To assess the impact of hyaluronic acid on patients' quality of life.

Main Methods:

• A comparative study involving 60 patients divided into three groups: control (mechanical cleaning), conditional control (mechanical cleaning + chlorhexidine), and main (mechanical cleaning + Hy+Al Gel).
• Clinical examination using Plaque Index (PI) and Periodontal Index (PD) was performed before and after treatment (1 and 3 months).

Main Results:

• The Hy+Al Gel group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in PI and PD indices compared to both control groups (p<0.0001).
• Positive changes in clinical indicators were observed in all groups after 3 months, with the most substantial improvements in the hyaluronic acid group.

Conclusions:

• Hyaluronic acid (Hy+Al Gel) is an effective therapeutic agent for peri-implant mucositis, offering superior clinical outcomes.
• Hyaluronic acid treatment positively impacts oral health and patient quality of life in managing dental implant complications.
