Gengigel/Gengigel Prof is a medical device containing high molecular weight (HMW) hyaluronic acid (in the form of sodium hyaluronate) with high level of purity. Its formulation is specifically created in order to resemble that of the hyaluronic acid found in normal gingival tissue.
Gengigel Teething Gel: Principal ingredient: Sodium Hyaluronate.
Other ingredients: Aqua, PEG 400, Xylitol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Cellulose Gum, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, PVP, PVM/MA copolymer, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Glyceryl Laurate,
Carbomer (Polycarbophil), Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Phosphate, Glycerophosphocholine, Trisodium Phosphate, Sodium Lactate, Disodium EDTA. (It may contain Lactic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide).
Gengigel Teething is an oral gel consisting of an innovative patented mucoadhesive polymer matrix that adheres to the teeth and gums for a long time, forming an invisible, flexible, strong film that performs an effective protective action.
Gengigel Teething allows the use of medicaments such as local anaesthetics to be reduced, and has a pleasant flavour. Alcohol- and sugar-free. Does not contain artificial flavourings, gluten, lactose, parabens, SLS or GMOs.
Clinically tested for infants.
Pharmacology: Gengigel/Gengigel Prof is a long acting HMW hyaluronic acid, which, when applied, provides 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 is a naturally occurring physiological constituent of connective tissue (especially in the gingival mucosa), where it performs anti-oedematous and tissue repair functions and does not develop any local or systemic pharmacological effect upon the mucosa.
Hyaluronic acid is extensively depolymerized and reduced to its basic subunit constituents by plaque bacterial enzyme action. The physico-chemical and macro-aggregating properties of hyaluronic acid helps to explain its anti-inflammatory properties. It is found in connective tissue throughout the body in a selective and specific manner. It is particularly concentrated in the outmost layers of healthy gingival tissue where it contributes to both the barrier function and tensile strength of the periodontal ligament. The presence of HMW hyaluronic acid is essential for the maintenance of the healthy gingival tissue.
In periodontal disease and other tissue traumas (inflammatory conditions, gingival pockets, wounds), the tissue requirement for hyaluronic acid increases considerably (by up to some 200% compared with the basal values); thus, demonstrating its specific role in regulating cell turnover and optimizing local tissue regeneration.
The deficiency in hyaluronic acid that arises under these conditions prevents the tissue from the following: Restoring the normal free water balance (as a consequence of which swelling and compression causes an increase in pain); activating the migration of fibrocytes (cells contributing to tissue healing) and as a consequence healing is delayed. Therefore, the lack of suitable HMW hyaluronic acid is responsible for the continuation of the inflammatory condition.
Studies in man show that the availability of exogenous hyaluronic acid of similar characteristics to that of the naturally occurring component helps to facilitate the natural tissue healing and recovery process.
Gengigel/Gengigel Prof provides maximum adhesion and thus, allows hyaluronic acid (which would otherwise be eliminated by constant salivary drainage) to remain in situ.
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.
Gengigel Teething Gel: the gum inflammations typical of infancy, such as those caused by teething or traumas.
Clinical trials demonstrate that the application of Gengigel Teething reduces pain and swelling and promotes healing.
Gengigel Oral Gel: Apply a film onto the gingival tissue, massage gently with clean fingers to aid its correct distribution on the mucosal surface.
Gengigel Hydrogel Mouthrinse: Rinse with 10 mL (1 dose) for 1-2 min. The compound is ready for use; do not dilute.
Gengigel Oromucosal Spray: 1-2 puffs on the inflamed or traumatized tissue. Keep the bottle vertical. Any puff guarantees a homogenous and constant distribution of liquid on the mouth surface.
Gengigel Teething Gel: after washing hands thoroughly, spread a small amount of product with a finger and massage it gently onto the gum until the affected area is entirely covered.
Preferably apply after meals and before sleep to promote the formation of the film and prolong the relief it provides for the child. Use 3-6 times a day, or as required.
Gengigel Prof Fluid: Rinse with 10 mL for 1-2 min. Do not dilute.
Known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of Gengigel/Gengigel Prof. Do not use in surgical wounds.
Gengigel/Gengigel Prof is extremely safe, presenting no contraindications or side-effects and can be used without restriction by children, pregnant woman and the elderly. Its safety profile is particularly useful when anti-inflammatories are contraindicated. By virtue of the properties of xylitol, a natural sweetener that does not promote tooth decay or cause significant variations in the blood sugar level; thus, Gengigel/Gengigel Prof is also suitable for diabetics.
As it does not have any known drug interactions, Gengigel/Gengigel Prof may be used safely during specific therapies (eg, with antibiotics).
Store at a temperature between 5°C- and 40°C.
