Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of barbed suture with conventional suture in muco-gingival surgeries.
Detailed Description
Experimental: Main treatment group, flap will be approximated using conventional, simple continuous suturing with barbed sutures.
Comparator: In patients allocated to control group, flap will be approximated using conventional, simple continuous suturing with conventional sutures.
