Abstract

Hyaluronic acid (HA) a polysaccharidepresent in many areas of the body like the synovium of synovial joints, and connective tissues which have high regenerative and biocompatible properties has been an area of interest since recent times in dentistry. Several research papers and review articles were studied in the Pubmeddatabase to formulate this review article. The main aim of this article is to demonstrate various applications of HA in different branches of dentistry. The PubMed database was searched for keywords "Hyaluronic acid AND periodontics,""Hyaluronic acid AND oral and maxillofacial surgery,""Hyaluronic acid AND oral medicine,""Hyaluronic acid AND orthodontics," "Hyaluronic acid AND endodontics," and "Hyaluronic acid AND aesthetic dentistry" which resulted in six, 296, 83, 86, 40, and 49 articles, respectively. The most relevant and informative articles were selected and studied for this review article. This review article will also help people to gain knowledge about the future aspects of the use of HA in dentistry and also motivate clinicians and new-generation dentists to inculcate the HA's use in their respective practice in dentistry.
