Hyaluronan(Synonyms- Hyaluronic acid (HA), Hyaluronate)is a naturally occurring linear polysaccharide with a high molecular weight. It is a member of glycosamine family and present in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue, synovial fluid, skin, periodontal tissues and many other organs and tissues of the body. Hyaluronan is naturally synthesized by a class of integral membrane proteins called hyaluronan synthases, and it is degraded by a family of enzymes called hyaluronidases. This molecule is a key component in the series of stages associated with the wound-healing process in both mineralized and non-mineralized tissues. It has unique properties which also helped in the treatment of inflammatory process especially in medical areas such as dermatology, ophthalmology, rheumatology. It has shown anti‑inflammatory,anti-oedematous, and anti‑bacterial effects for the treatment of periodontal diseases. This review highlights the potential role of hyaluronan in periodontal tissue healing and as an aid to the treatment of periodontal diseases.
