Male patient, 48 years old, history of periodontal disease, required an implant in tooth 11. A connective tissue graft was decided on to maximise the results. After one week, when the stitches were taken out, the patient felt great relief every time he applied a hyaluronic acid gel, with a concentration of 0.2%, which he used until the tube was finished. The final photos show the healing process at 15 days.
