Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female infants aged between 6 and 36 months.
- Teething diagnosed by the presence of at least 3 of the following clinical symptoms:
- pain, swelling, gingival rush, hyper-salivation, redness, abnormal teeth depth.
- Informed consent form signed by parents or legal representative.
- Infants and parents who are in a general position to follow all study requirements
You may not qualify if:
- Infants in hospitalization and/or immobilization and/or confinement to bed.
- Infants with known history of severe renal insufficiency and/or known history of severe cardiac dysfunction and/or liver problems
- Concomitant use during the period of study of NSAIDs and/or any anesthetics (obviously Calgel® is allowed in patients randomized in group B, only)
- Subjects with known history of allergic or adverse reactions to avian proteins or to HA and to any ingredient of the Medical Device and/or of the comparator on study.
- Infants whose parents suffer from any form of psychiatric disorder or other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might invalidate the required prescription and/or observation or complicate communication with the subject.
- Infants simultaneously participating or having participated in the last month before Visit 1 in another clinical trial.
- Infants already treated under this protocol.
