Study summary

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, pilot clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical 10% high-concentration 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) gel in subjects with mild gingival recession and chronic periodontal inflammation. Eligible participants will apply the HA35 gel topically to the gingival and tooth surfaces twice daily for 42 consecutive days. The primary objectives are to assess changes in gingival recession, chronic gingival or radicular pain, gingival redness and swelling, and brushing-induced bleeding. Safety and local oral tolerability will be evaluated throughout the treatment period. This is a minimal-risk, non-pharmacological, non-invasive oral care intervention.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label pilot clinical study investigates the efficacy and safety of topical 10% high-concentration 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) gel for improving mild gingival recession (Miller Class I/II) and chronic periodontal inflammatory symptoms including gingival pain, redness, swelling, and brushing-induced bleeding.

Eligible subjects will perform routine tooth brushing followed by gentle topical application of HA35 gel to the gingival margin, teeth, and affected gingival areas for approximately 3 minutes, twice daily (morning and evening) for 42 consecutive days.

Outcome assessments include measurement of exposed root surface length (gingival recession), chronic gingival/radicular pain (NRS 0-10), gingival itching/discomfort, redness and swelling scores, and incidence of brushing-induced bleeding at baseline, 30 seconds after first application, Day 2, Day 4, and Day 42.

Oral irritation, allergic reactions, and adverse events will be monitored continuously for safety assessment.

This is a non-invasive, non-pharmacological oral topical intervention with minimal risk to participants. All procedures will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and written informed consent will be obtained from all subjects prior to enrollment.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    HA35 Topical Gingival Gel Group

    Participants apply 10% high-concentration 35 kDa HA35 gel topically to the gingival and tooth surfaces twice daily for 42 consecutive days. Efficacy on gingival recession, periodontal inflammation, pain, bleeding, and safety will be evaluated.

    Device: 10% High-Concentration 35 kDa Hyaluronan (HA35) Gingival Topical Gel

Interventions

  • Device10% High-Concentration 35 kDa Hyaluronan (HA35) Gingival Topical Gel

    Topical oral gel containing 10% high-concentration 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment. Applied topically to gingival and tooth surfaces to improve mild gingival recession, reduce periodontal inflammation, relieve gingival pain, and decrease brushing-induced bleeding.

    Also known as: HA35 Periodontal Gel, Gingival Repair HA35 Gel

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Gingival Recession Depth (mm)

    Change in gingival recession depth, measured in millimeters (mm) using a calibrated periodontal probe. Baseline measurement is the distance from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the gingival margin.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 42

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Chronic Gingival/Radicular Pain Intensity (0-10 NRS)

    Change in chronic gingival or radicular pain intensity, assessed using a 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 42

  2. Change in Gingival Itching/Discomfort Intensity (0-10 NRS)

    Change in gingival itching or discomfort intensity, assessed using a 0-10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 = no discomfort and 10 = maximum discomfort.

    Time frame: Baseline to 30 seconds after first application

  3. Change in Gingival Redness and Swelling Severity (0-10 Scale)

    Change in gingival redness and swelling severity, assessed using a 0-10 ordinal scale, where 0 = normal gingiva and 10 = severe redness and swelling.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 4

  4. Resolution Rate of Brushing-Induced Gingival Bleeding

    Proportion of participants with complete resolution of brushing-induced gingival bleeding, defined as no bleeding observed during gentle tooth brushing.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 2

  5. Incidence and Severity of Oral Adverse Events

    Number and severity of treatment-related oral adverse events, including irritation, ulceration, or allergic reactions, assessed by clinical observation and participant report. Severity graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

    Time frame: Throughout the 42-day treatment period
