It as a compound in the body as a fluid that lies between cells and is responsible for eye shape, skin elasticity and joint lubrification. There are synthetic forms of production that are used as a functional therapeutic medium, for example for arthorsis and bruxism, and for aesthetic therapy such as filling in grooves and wrinkles. The Conselho Federal de Odontologia (CFO), seeking the normative basis of the practice, issued resolution CFO 176//16, registered an area for updating the dentist (CD) and was based on the principles preached by the World Health Organization (WHO) thath the health is a complete state of well-being, not just the absence of illness and disease. Therefor, they should undergo dental surgery, in their position as health professionals, completely suitable for the use of hyaluronic acid with therapeutic use since an anatomic area of action is the upper region of the hyoid bone to the limit of the nase point. The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office, trough a court order, removes the medical entitius, provisionally suspends the effects of the CFO 176/16 injuction, wich authorizes and regulates the use of hyaluronic acid by the dental surgeon, once again in force according to the previous instructions: CFO 112/11, CFO 145/14 and CFO 146/14. The first ban on any use of hyaluronic acid until scientifically proven. Already issued in 20014, allows the use only functional or limitations of dental use. The legal debate still persists and the present objective work promotes a literary review and respect to the use of hyaluronic acid, in the area of dentist surgeon’s work, besides clarifying the legal panorama on an issue.
