O uso do ácido hialurônico na Odontologia: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

Human skin gradually ages, increasing the manifestation of wrinkles, expression lines and sagging. Hyaluronic acid is currently the safest temporary filler for soft tissue, acting as a volumizer, moisturizer and biostimulator. This article describes, through a discussed literature review, the indications, contraindications, application technique and the main complications resulting from the application of hyaluronic acid, used for orofacial harmonization. Some facial anatomical regions are considered to be of great danger and high risk of complications in procedures using dermal fillers. Immediate complications include bruises, swelling, infections, herpetic outbreak, nodules, and vascular compromise. Chronic and late complications include bruises, swelling, skin discoloration, hyperpigmentation, infection and lump formation and often require more invasive and complex treatments. When a patient has an unwanted effect, it is important to quickly assess it in order to identify the causes. The treatment plan may be simple or may require multiple sessions, depending on the severity of complications.
