Article specifications

This study was published in 2017 in Journal of J Biol Regul Homeost Agents. (IF 2015:1.36) by Italian specialists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of hyaluronic acid as an adjuvant in the management of peri-implantitis.

 

Results

The results of the statistical analysis demonstrate that there was a slight difference between the pocket depth as measured in the treated sites at time 0 (pre-treatment) and time 1 (15 days post-treatment), although the difference was so small as to render it statistically irrelevant. Bleeding on probing as measured at time 0 and time 1 indicated an improvement on both sides, but with no greater improvement noted on the side treated with HA.
