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).
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.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Smoking patients.
Single group
To Compare 3 different suture materials used in oral surgery
Other interventionTo 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.
Bacterial colonization
Microbiological analysis: CFU and qPCR bacterial count.
Level of inflammation
The degree of soft tissue inflammation was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
