What does the published literature say about Gelenzyme®?

Four authors from the universities of Cagliari and Pavia searched PubMed and Google Scholar for everything published about Gelenzyme®. They found three works, one dermatological and two dental. Their conclusion: a valid adjuvant treatment in healing processes, but the clinical cases reported remain few and comparative studies are needed.
