Gum disease repair: could a hyaluronic acid gel rival the gold standard?
NCT ID NCT04274244
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gel made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid (Hyadent BG®) can help regrow bone and gum tissue destroyed by chronic gum disease, comparing it to a standard treatment called Emdogain®. About 53 adults with moderate periodontitis will receive one of the two gels during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Researchers will measure changes in gum attachment and bone levels over time to see which approach works better.
