Plaque formation and bleeding on probing were evaluated pretreatment (baseline) and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks post\u2010treatment. Probing depths and attachment levels were evaluated at baseline and at 12 weeks. The patients received full\u2010mouth scaling and root planing. A hyaluronan gel was administered subgingivally in the test sites at baseline and after 1 week. Significant differences between test and control were evaluated using the paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> test, repeated\u2010measures analysis of variance (Wilks lambda), and a non\u2010parametric Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank test.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A significant reduction in bleeding on probing scores and probing depths was observed in both groups at 12 weeks (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt;0.05).

Mean probing depth reductions between baseline and 12 weeks were 1.0 \u00b1 0.3 mm and 0.8 \u00b1 0.2 mm for the hyaluronan and control groups, respectively.
