Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to prove that Novosyn Quick and Monosyn Quick are equivalent in early wound healing in adult patients undergoing resective periodontal surgery.
In order to show equivalence between Novosyn Quick and Monosyn Quick EHS, which is composed of 3 parameters: clinical signs of reepithelization, clinical signs of haemostasis and clinical signs of inflammation, will be calculated for each suture 10 ± 5 days postoperatively and cannot differ more than 2 points.
Furthermore, complications, the handling of the suture material, pain, satisfaction of the patient and bacterial contamination of the thread (optional) will also be assessed as secondary objectives.

Masking Description
Patients and the observers (assessors) will be blinded to the applied suture material.
Patients will not be informed which suture material will be applied. The observers (assessors) who will perform the assessment of the wounds will also be unaware of the applied suture type.

Arms & Interventions
Novosyn®
Novosyn® Quick is available in a range of gauge sizes and lengths, non-needled or attached to stainless steel needles of varying types and sizes: Novosyn® Quick sutures are available undyed in sizes USP 2 (5 metric) through USP 6-0 (0.7 metric).
Intervention: Novosyn® in resective periodontal surgery (Device)
Monosyn®
Monosyn® Quick is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable, monofilament surgical suture material made from a triblock copolymer comprising glycolide (72 %), ε-caprolactone (14 %) and trimethylene carbonate (14 %), which is only available undyed.
Intervention: Monosyn® in resective periodontal surgery (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
early wound healing score (EHS)
Time Frame: 10 ± 5 days postoperatively
The primary end point in order to evaluate the primary objective of the study will be the determination of early wound healing score (EHS) in patients undergoing resective periodontal surgery. The EHS will be evaluated in 3 parameters: clinical signs of re-epithelization (CSR), clinical signs of haemostasis (CSH), and clinical signs of inflammation (CSI). Zero, 3 or 6 points have been used to evaluate the CSR, whereas 0, 1, or 2 points have been used for both CSH and CSI (Table 3). The summation of these 3 parameters generated the EHS. The EHS for ideal wound healing was 10 points, while the worst possible score was 0 points. An EHS of 0 points was assigned in the presence of suppuration, independently of the ratings for the 3 single parameters.
Secondary Outcomes

- Number of patients showing postoperative Oral candidiasis(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Number of patients showing postoperative Bleeding(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Number of patients showing postoperative Infection(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Satisfaction of the patient(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Number of patients showing postoperative Dentinal hypersensitivity(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Number of patients showing postoperative Angular cheilitis(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Number of Systemic complications(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Pain assessment(10 ± 5 days postoperatively)
- Assessment of the handling of the suture material(intraoperatively)
