Abstract：AIM:To investigate the clinical effects of hyaluronic acid in the treatment of chronic periodonti-tis. METHODS:40 patients with chronic periodontitis were divided into 2 groups(n=20). All patients were treated by scaling and root planning. Hyaluronic acid was administered in the periodontal pocket in the experimental group and iodine glycerin in the control group. Gingival index ( GI ) , probing depth ( PD) , beeding index ( BI) and clinical at-tachment level (CAL) were evaluated before treatment and 4, 8 weeks after treatment. RESULTS:In both groups, a significant improvement of the indicators was found after therapy (P<0. 05). And comparison between experimental and control groups showed no statistically significant differences in the indicators 4 and 8 weeks after treatment (P>0. 05). CONCLUSION:Hyaluronic acid is not more effective than iodine in the treatment of periodontitis.
