Abstract
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
healing differences in between four different widely used suture
materials in the oral surgery practice, including silk (Perma-
Hand; Ethicon, INC., Somerville, NJ, USA), polypropylene
(Prolene; Ethicon, INC., Somerville, NJ, USA), coated
polyglactin 910 (Ethicon, INC., Somerville, NJ, USA). and
polyglecaprone 25 (Ethicon, INC., Somerville, NJ, USA ).
Materials and Methods:
20 male rats were randomly allocated into
two groups depending on their sacrification days (post-operative
1st and the 7th days). Four longitudinal incision wounds, each
1cm in size, were created on the dorsum of each animal which
were then primarily closed with four different types of sutures.
Results:
The effects of these suture materials on soft tissue healing
were compared histopathologically, by means of density of the cells,
necrosis, fibrosis, foreign body reaction, the presence of cells of
acute and chronic infection. No statistically significant difference
was observed between the groups regarding the density of the
cells, necrosis, fibrosis, foreign body reaction, and the presence
of the cells of acute and chronic infections. Of note, propylene
showed slightly less tissue reaction among the other materials.
Conclusion:
The results of our study showed that there is no
only one ideal suture material for surgical practice. The factors
related to the patient, the type of the surgery and the quality of
the tissue are important to decide an appropriate suture material.
