Overview
Brief Summary
The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare tissue erythema, edema and knot loosening among four types of suture one week after periodontal surgery.
Detailed Description
Forty patients participated in this prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Vertical mattress sutures were used following resective periodontal surgery performed by one operator. Four suture materials were selected for evaluation: 5-0 silk; 5-0 polypropylene; 5-0 polyglycolic acid (PGA), and 4-0 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Seven days after the surgical procedure, the surgeon assessed suture loosening and removed the sutures. A blind researcher clinically evaluated erythema and edema.
