Summary

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.

Conditions

• Wound Healing Complication
• Oral Surgery
• Third Molar Extraction
• Oral Infection
