Gengigel from Oraldent is a biological mouth and gum-care gel based on hyaluronan, which helps to accelerate the healing process of ulcers within the mouth.

Causes of mouth ulcers can vary from stress, irritants and bacterial, viral or fungal infections to nutritional deficiency, discoid herpes and erythematosas. Ulceration can present in the form of minor and major aphthous; minor ulcers tend to heal more quickly and occur at longer intervals than major ulcers, which occur in regular cycles.

The hyaluronan in Gengigel helps to reduce the incidence of ulcers, and also limits their effects, offering preventative action and relief in one easy to use gel.

Hyaluronan is effective by performing a number of structural and physiological functions within the tissues. It controls the interaction between extracellular and intercellular structures, whilst managing inflammatory cytokine interactions. It also acts to regulate osmotic pressure and tissue lubrication.

The combination of these actions encourages tissue to grow back faster, whilst simultaneously assisting in the prevention of re-infection, offering ulcer suffers long-term relief from the discomfort caused by the condition.
