Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Infection, Surgical Site
Interventions
Drug: Vicryl plus
Registration Number
NCT03659344
Lead Sponsor
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

Patients randomly aligned in 2 groups.Vicryl plus sutures were used in group 1 for closing subperiostal flaps after dental implant surgeries and vicryl sutures were used in group 2.

Detailed Description

Patients were divided randomly based on computer randomization list in two groups: In group1, vicryl plus 4-0 (Vicryl Plus Ethicon,Johnson \& Johnson Company, Sommerville, NJ) suture was used to close surgical site and Vicryl 4-0 (Vicryl Ethicon,Johnson \& Johnson Company, Sommerville, NJ) in group II.

All dental implants were placed through creating subperiosteal flaps. In each group, fresh socket placed dental implants were documented. Patients were visited in 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after dental implant surgeries.

Postoperative infection was defined as local erythematous change in the sutured wound with purulent discharge or localized abscess formation on surgical site. If wound dehiscence occurred, it was documented.

Patients were blind about what suture was used.
