New Periodontitis Treatment Based on Hyaluronic Acid and Melatonin

Summary

The aim of the present study is to determine whether the association of Melatonin and Hyaluronic Acid to the antimicrobial TM paste (3% Tetracyclin and 3% Metronidazole) for periodontal maintenance therapy can improve the attachment level (AL) and alveolar bone support for moderate chronic periodontitis.
