Abstract

: The suture material is an artificial material used for intimate approximation of the wound edges until they can naturally adhere through collagen fibers.
The accumulation of microbes varies depending on the quality and macrostructure of different suture materials. The ideal suture material should induce minimal tissue
injury, resist bacterial contamination, and provide adequate tissue support. Aim of the study: The goal of this study is the evaluation of microbiological findings and
the healing of the tissue by using 4 types of suture materials in various periodontal and implant surgical interventions. To achieve this objective, a comparative analysis of clinical and microbiological findings was conducted. Material and methods: The examination involved 20 participants divided into four groups. Each group
received a different type of suture material: silk, polyamide, polyglycolic acid and poliglecaprone 25. The examinations were conducted 10 days after the surgery and
comprised two parts: clinical and microbiological evaluations. Results: The highest number of colony-forming units (CFUs/ml) was observed with silk suture materials,
followed by a decline in the subsequent groups: polyglycolic acid, poliglecaprone 25 and polyamide. The soft tissue healing index showed the best results with
polyamide and poliglecaprone 25, while the worst results were associated with polyglycolic acid and silk. Conclusions: Monofilament suturing materials demonstrated lower bacterial accumulation and superior clinical characteristics compared to multifilament materials. Key words: Suturing materials, inflammation, bacterial accumulation, periodontal surgery, implantology
