Overview
Considering the wide variety of surgical sutures currently marketed in the field of Dentistry, it was decided to conduct a study comparing the microbial adhesion and antibacterial activity of three different types of sutures used in Oral Surgery (Silk, non-absorbable polyamide monofilament and non-absorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene).
Detailed description
The general or primary objective is:
• To compare 3 non-absorbable suture materials used in oral surgery: silk, polyamide monofilament and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.
The specific or secondary objectives are:
* To evaluate how each type of suture influences wound healing and the patient's postoperative period. * To study bacterial colonization in each type of suture. * To determine the tissue reaction and clinical characteristics of each suture.
Interventions
- Other To Compare 3 different suture materials used in oral surgery
To compare bacterial colonization, tissue reaction and clinical characteristics such as wound healing and patient postoperative outcomes in 3 different suture materials used in oral surgery.
Primary outcome measures
- Bacterial colonization [Time frame: 7 days.]
- Level of inflammation [Time frame: 7 days.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Patients with indication for extraction of a third lower molar retained in an unfavorable position that requires a bayonet incision in the surgical procedure.
- Age: patients aged 18 years or older.
- ASA I patients (Classification of the American Society of Anesthesiology, 1979): healthy patients who tolerate stress well, without systemic pathology, no anxiety and in whom a therapeutic modification is not necessary.
Exclusion criteria
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Smoking patients.
