Comparison of Silk Suture and Tissue Adhesive for Wound Closure After Impacted Tooth

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Tooth, Impacted; Tooth Diseases
• Interventions: Procedure: Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth; Procedure: Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth (the other side)

• Registration Number: NCT06112366
• Lead Sponsor: Yuzuncu Yıl University

Brief Summary

This study was administered to 21 female and 9 male patients. Patients with impacted wisdom teeth on both sides of the mandible were selected. After extraction of the impacted teeth, silk sutures were used on one side and cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive on the other side for wound closure. The effects of these two materials on patient comfort were investigated.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of tissue adhesive (Periacryl 90) and silk suture in bilateral mandibular impacted wisdom tooth surgery. In the study of 30 patients, 21 females and 9 males, 60 fully impacted lower wisdom teeth were extracted bilaterally and in the same position. One of the bilaretal teeth of the patients was randomly selected and tissue adhesive (Periacryl 90) was applied for wound closure as the experimental group, while the other tooth was selected as the control group and the wound was closed with silk suture. The selected side was determined by a closed envelope procedure. After the first impacted tooth extraction, the patient waited until the wound healed and the symptoms disappeared completely, and then the other tooth was extracted. Both extractions were evaluated on days 3 and 7 for wound healing, edema and trismus. Wound healing was evaluated as good, acceptable and poor. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) was used for pain assessment

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
The study group used tissue adhesive for wound closure after extraction of impacted wisdom teeth	Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth	In this study of 30 patients, 21 females and 9 males, 60 fully impacted lower wisdom teeth were extracted bilaterally and in the same position. One of the bilaretal teeth of the patients was randomly selected and tissue adhesive (Periacryl 90) was applied for wound closure as an experimental group.
Control group used silk sutures after extraction of impacted wisdom teeth	Surgery of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth (the other side)	Bilateral impacted wisdom teeth of the patients were randomly selected. After the tooth in the experimental group was extracted, the other impacted wisdom tooth was selected as the control group and silk sutures were used for wound closure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Facial edema	0-28 days	Measurement between facial craniometric points (angulus-tragus, angulus-lateral canthus, angulus-nasal base, angulus-lateral canthus, and angulus-pogonion). The number of participants in the split mouth model was 22. A total of 44 impacted teeth were extracted and edema was measured before and 1 week after each extraction.
Mouth opening measurements	0-28 days	The distance between the incisals of the patient's central teeth at maximal mouth opening.
Visual Analog Scale	0-28 days	A numerical rating scale VAS was used for pain analysis (0=no pain, 10=most severe pain). The pain levels at 24 hours, 48 hours and 1 week after the surgical procedure were recorded on the patient follow-up form by all patients who participated in the study by explaining that there was no pain at the "zero" level and the most severe pain known at the "10" level on the pain scale, which was organized as a 10 cm horizontal line on the prepared forms.
Wound healing	0-28 days	View of the wound site in the operation area. The REEDA scale was used for the clinical evaluation of the intraoral surgical field. This scale It includes five factors that indicate wound healing: Redness, Edema, Echymosis, Discharge, Approximation. Each of the recovery factors is evaluated by giving scores of 0, 1, 2 and 3 and the sum of the scores obtained as a result of the evaluation of these five categories constitutes the REEDA score. The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 15.
