About this trial
The aim of this study is to prove that Novosyn Quick and Monosyn Quick are equivalent in early wound healing in adult patients undergoing resective periodontal surgery.
In order to show equivalence between Novosyn Quick and Monosyn Quick EHS, which is composed of 3 parameters: clinical signs of reepithelization, clinical signs of haemostasis and clinical signs of inflammation, will be calculated for each suture 10 ± 5 days postoperatively and cannot differ more than 2 points.
Furthermore, complications, the handling of the suture material, pain, satisfaction of the patient and bacterial contamination of the thread (optional) will also be assessed as secondary objectives.

Treatments tested in this trial
Novosyn® in resective periodontal surgery
DeviceThe aim of resective procedures is the re-establishment of a healthy periodontium at a reduced level, accepting as irreversible the destruction that has already occurred. In essence, these procedures are all designed to achieve pocket elimination or reduction by the apical shift of the gingival margin.
Monosyn® in resective periodontal surgery
DeviceThe aim of resective procedures is the re-establishment of a healthy periodontium at a reduced level, accepting as irreversible the destruction that has already occurred. In essence, these procedures are all designed to achieve pocket elimination or reduction by the apical shift of the gingival margin.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
early wound healing score (EHS)
The primary end point in order to evaluate the primary objective of the study will be the determination of early wound healing score (EHS) in patients undergoing resective periodontal surgery. The EHS will be evaluated in 3 parameters: clinical signs of re-epithelization (CSR), clinical signs of haemostasis (CSH), and clinical signs of inflammation (CSI). Zero, 3 or 6 points have been used to evaluate the CSR, whereas 0, 1, or 2 points have been used for both CSH and CSI (Table 3). The summation of these 3 parameters generated the EHS. The EHS for ideal wound healing was 10 points, while the worst possible score was 0 points. An EHS of 0 points was assigned in the presence of suppuration, independently of the ratings for the 3 single parameters.
