Gingival Overgrowth Clinical Trial

Official title: Efficacy of Low-level Laser Therapy, Hyaluronic Acid Gel and Herbal Gel as Adjunctive Tools in Gingivectomy Wound Healing-A Randomised Comparative Clinical and Histological Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study would be conducted to assess the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy, hyaluronic acid gel and herbal gel as adjunctive aids in the healing of gingivectomy wounds. As the gingivectomy wound heals by secondary intention, this study aims to compare the healing potential of low-level laser therapy, hyaluronic acid gel and herbal gel when applied topically at baseline, 1st day,3rd day and 7th day after gingivectomy procedure.

Clinical Trial Description

Low-level laser therapy applied to soft tissues stimulates specific metabolic processes in healing wounds. Major changes observed in wounds treated with low-level laser therapy(LLLT) include increased healthy granulation tissue formation with early epithelization, increased fibroblast proliferation and matrix synthesis.

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide gel and it has many properties that make it a potentially ideal molecule for assisting in wound healing by inducing early granulation tissue formation, inhibiting inflammation, providing epithelial turnover and also aiding in connective tissue angiogenesis.

Hiora gel is a herbal astringent gel which helps in wound healing, reduces inflammation and also alleviates pain. ;
