This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, pilot clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10% high-concentration 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) gel delivered via gel-soaked cotton balls in patients with gingival pain and swelling after dental procedures. Eligible participants will gently chew and retain the gel-soaked cotton balls on the affected area for 30 minutes. The primary objectives are to assess changes in gingival pain and swelling at 1, 30, and 60 minutes after application. Safety and local oral tolerability will be evaluated throughout the observation period. This is a minimal-risk, non-pharmacological, non-invasive intervention.

Able to independently complete pain and swelling assessments
