Summary

The main objective is to analyze post-surgical periodontal healing after conventional periodontal surgery where an absorbable suture coated with clorhexidine (Novosyn Clorhexidine) versus conventional sutures without chlorhexidine (Novosyn) will be used a pilot randomized clinical study has been designed. Up to authors´ knowledge until now there are no studies to evaluate periodontal healing after periodontal surgery in combination with this kind of sutures.

Detailed description

A total of 60 patients will be included, where the unit of study will be each stitch, among the patients attending the Dental Clinic Service of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) who require surgical periodontal treatment. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups: the control group using a conventional suture (n=30), and the test group using a suture coated with chlorhexidine diacetate (n=30). Suture in the control group: absorbable suture of polyglactin 910 coated with polyglactin 370 + calcium stearate without chlorhexidine (NOVOSYN) Suture in the test group: absorbable suture of polyglactin 910 coated with polyglactin 370 + calcium stearate and chlorhexidine diacetate (NOVOSYN CHLORHEXIDINE) The primary variable in this study is post-surgical healing in both groups, which will be assessed using the healing index.

Conditions

• Post-Surgical Complication
• Periodontal Inflammation
• Surgical Site Infection

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Periodontal Access Surgery+ Suture with chlorhexidine	Periodontal conventional surgery will be performed as treatment of periodontal diseases in patients who present active periodontal pockets. At the end of the surgery, the surgeon will suture the flap with the absorbable polyglactin 910 suture coated with chlorhexidine (Novosyn Chlorhexidine). Standardized post-surgical recommendations will be followed.
