GENGIGEL GINGIVAL:

Heals inflamed and traumatised gums

. Mouth ulcers

As a result of its film-forming activity, it restores healthy gums and soothes inflamed oral tissues. GENGIGEL® is a medical device providing optimum adhesion to, and protection of, the gingival mucosa. Its properties derive from the use of various polymers, calibrated to provide excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

Its composition is characterised by the presence of high molecular weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid, which resembles the natural hyaluronic acid found in gingival tissue. HMW hyaluronic acid is particularly concentrated in the outermost layers of healthy gingival tissue, where it contributes to both the barrier function and the tensile strength of the periodontal ligament.

In periodontal disease and other tissue traumas (inflammatory conditions, gingival pockets, wounds, etc.), the tissue requirement for hyaluronic acid increases considerably (by up to some 200% compared with the basal values), thus demonstrating its value for the maintenance of healthy gums.

The hyaluronic acid deficiency that arises under these conditions prevents the tissue from:

• restoring the normal free water balance (as a consequence of which swelling and compression cause an increase in pain);

• activating the migration of fibrocytes (cells contributing to tissue healing), as a consequence of which healing is delayed.

The lack of suitable HMW hyaluronic acid is therefore responsible for the continuation of the inflammatory condition.

Clinical studies show that the availability of exogenous hyaluronic acid with similar characteristics to those of the naturally occurring component helps to facilitate the natural tissue-healing and recovery process.

GENGIGEL® is therefore an innovative product providing long-acting, biotechnologically manufactured hyaluronic acid with a high molecular weight. The application of hyaluronic acid provides a periodontal tissue/fluid balance with accelerated healing and repair functions by preventing the deficiency of natural gingival HMW hyaluronic acid and enhancing its effects.

Hyaluronic acid does not develop any local or systemic pharmacological effects on the mucosa. GENGIGEL® provides maximum adhesion, thus allowing hyaluronic acid (which would otherwise be eliminated by constant salivary drainage) to remain in situ.

Safety: GENGIGEL® is extremely safe, presenting no contraindications or side effects, and can be used without restriction by children, pregnant women, and the elderly. The safety profile of GENGIGEL® is particularly useful when the use of anti-inflammatories is contraindicated.

By virtue of the properties of xylitol, a natural sweetener that does not promote tooth decay or cause significant variations in blood sugar levels, the product may be suitable for diabetics. No drug interactions are known.

Indications: Inflammatory conditions (gingivitis, gingival bleeding, gingival retraction, gingival pockets) and other traumatic conditions (in particular mouth ulcers, wounds caused by removable prostheses or orthodontic appliances, cleaning abrasions, tooth extractions, post-surgical recovery, etc.), and those disease conditions where the gingival mucosa requires increased concentrations of hyaluronic acid.

Instructions for use: After correct oral hygiene, apply GENGIGEL® three to five times a day (after main meals) for 3–4 weeks, continuing until all symptoms have disappeared. It is advisable not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after application.

• Gel: Apply a film of gel onto the gum, massaging gently with clean fingers to aid correct distribution on the mucosal surface.

• Mouthrinse: Rinse with 10 ml (one dose) for 1–2 minutes. The compound is ready for use; do not dilute. Measuring cup CE 0373 included.

• Spray: Each puff guarantees homogeneous, constant distribution of the liquid on the mouth surface; apply 1 or 2 puffs on inflammatory or traumatised tissue. Keep the bottle vertical.

No problems have been reported after accidental swallowing of the product.

Contraindications: The use of GENGIGEL® is contraindicated in the event of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Precautions and warnings: Do not use the product if visibly damaged. Store at room temperature, between 5℃ and 40℃, and protect against direct heat sources. Do not use after the expiry date. Before closing the container after use, eliminate all product residues. Product for personal use only. Keep out of children’s reach. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
