Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide of extracellular matrix of connective tissues, synovial fluid, and other body tissues. It has an important role in regulating interactions intra and extracellularly between different growth factors, in addition to regulating osmotic pressure, maintaining tissue volume and lubrication.Periodontitis is an multifactorial inflammatory disease that affects teeth supporting structures which results in teeth loss. It is considered a wide world cause of teeth loss in adults. In addition to its local effect, teeth loss, it can have systemic impacts on many systemic organs. Although its main cause is bacteria, exaggerated host response and risk factors such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, HIV/AIDS, family history, and certain medications increase the disease progress.Hence teeth supporting structures are connective tissues and hyaluronic acid is a main component of connective tissues, a correlation of both in health and disease is explained in this article
