Abstract

In everyday surgical practice, different types of suturing materials are available which have an important role in tissue healing, facilitate the process of hemostasis, and enable the reconstruction and reunification of tissue. The aim of this study is to examine the reaction of the tissue to different suturing materials, as well as to determine the speed of wound healing and the incidence of complications after their use, in order to prove which of them is most suitable for oral surgery procedure. These researches were done based on analyzes presented on “MEDLINE” and “PubMed” databases, from 1970 to 2018, using the following
keywords: suture materials, flap, polyglucapron, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, silk. Tissue reactions to suturing materials vary depending on the surface properties and the adhesion properties of the bacteria to the material. Silk is the most commonly used suturing material in oral surgery.
The application of silk sutures increases the risk of infections. Studies about tissue response to suturing material confirm the presence of inflammation when using silk and cotton threads, and minimal reaction in others (nylon, polyester, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyglycolic acid. In addition to the observance of surgical suturing techniques, and the proper maintenance of oral hygiene in the postoperative period, the choice of suturing material has a significant impact on tissue healing.
Keywords: oral-surgical interventions, suturing material, resorbable and non-resorbable sutures.
