Effects of a Gum Gel Intended to Treat Signs and Symptoms of Teething

Retrospective Analysis of the Effects of a Gum Gel Intended to Treat Signs and Symptoms of Teething in Infants

Teething discomfort is a widespread disorder affecting a very high percentage of infants. The use of hyaluronic acid gels has been shown in the last 20 years to be an effective tool, generally devoid of side effects, in reducing oral mucosal inflammation in adults. Its effectiveness in infants is affected by the strength of hyaluronic acid retention over the oral mucosa. This is in turn affected by formulation and may vary between different products due to the different ingredients used. In this study, the results collected by monitoring the paediatric experience regarding a newly developed HA-based medical device, intended to counteract teething discomfort in infants, will be reported.
