Hyaluronic Acid in Counteracting Aphthous Stomatitis

Hyaluronic Acid in Counteracting Aphthous Stomatitis

Official Title

Clinical Evaluation of a Hyaluronic Acid-based Medical Device in Counteracting Aphthous Stomatitis in Adults

Brief Summary

      Oral mucosal ulcers can determine a real worsening of the quality of life. Conventional
      therapy usually lasts not less than 2-3 weeks, and carries a high risk of serious side
      effects; furthermore, ulcers often recur. The use of hyaluronic acid applied as an adhesive
      gel over the lesions seems to have potential in terms of efficacy and the avoidance of side
      effects. Of course, hyaluronic acid-based formulations show different effects and
      tolerability. In this retrospective observational study, the results obtained using a
      hyaluronic-acid based medical device applied for 14 days to counteract ulcers in adults will
      be reported.
