Gengigel Prof can be used to aid mucosal healing in inflammatory or traumatic conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, aphthous ulceration, dermatoses, atrophic conditions and post-surgical or tooth extraction trauma, according to Oraldent.

It contains 0.8% hyaluronan which has a strong affinity for water and binds to proteins and water molecules to create a viscous macro-aggregate. According to the company, the hyaluronan within Gengigel promotes the growth of healthy new tissue, thus accelerating tissue healing, repair and regeneration by encouraging the movement of restorative cells, especially fibroblasts from adjacent tissues, to the healing site stimulating the creation of collagen. The surface fibrin network is replaced by fibrous tissue and the wound is healed.
