Female patient, 45 years old, non-smoker, sought treatment for deep periodontal pockets in teeth 12 and 23. Due to the presence of vertical defects in both teeth and easy surgical access, we decided to use a minimally invasive technique that did not require incisions. Once surgery was complete, hyaluronic acid in a gel form, with a concentration of 0.2%, was applied to the wounds and the patient was advised to continue treatment three times a day for a week. The images showing the removal of the stitches were taken 5 days after surgery and show excellent healing for such a short amount of time.
