Effect of hyaluronic acid on palatal wound healing: A systematic review.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of topically applied hyaluronic acid on wound healing (patient-reported outcomes and clinical healing) after a palatal autogenous gingival graft is harvested.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was performed in April 2024 in eleven electronic databases. Two investigators independently screened the references for inclusion.

Immediate and early loading of hydrothermally treated, hydroxyapatite-coated dental implants: a 7-year prospective randomized clinical study.

Background: Existing research on marginal bone stability around hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants often lacks adequate long-term follow-up. The purpose of this randomized prospective study was to evaluate the 7-year outcome of patients with immediate and early loaded single-tooth restorations supported by implants with plasma-sprayed, partially HA-coated surfaces. Forty-two patients in need of 50 single implants were treated in in the Postgraduate Periodontics Clinic of Louisiana State University School of Dentistry.
