By Sebastiano Andreana, DDS, MS

Oral wound healing is a topic of interest for many dental professionals. Like many subjects, the research continues to provide greater insight into the effectiveness of current treatments and what may become possible in the future. In this edition of Sunstar Spotlight, Sebastiano Andreana, DDS, MS, discusses the benefits of hyaluronic acid in the wound healing process. Hyaluronic acid is a mucopolysaccharide found in the soft connective tissues and the synovial fluid of joints. It acts as a binding, lubricating, and protective agent. Hyaluronic acid-based therapies have been developed for topical use, including a mouthrinse and subgingival gel. As oral health professionals, we are committed to improving patient comfort and supporting successful oral health outcomes.Hyaluronic acid may be able to help us achieve these goals.
