Brief Summary:
Background: Many factors play a role when selecting an appropriate suture for optimal soft tissue healing in oral surgery. Moreover, the oral cavity has its specific challenges: it is an aqueous environment in which biofilm formation takes place on all surfaces. Therefore, oral surgery has specific demands for suture materials.
Aim: The primary objective of this study was to compare the bacterial load on different suture materials. The secondary objective was to determine the impact of suture material on decubitus.
Material \& methods: This prospective experimental study with a 'split-mouth' design enrolled 36 patients requiring oral surgery. Five different suture materials were compared regarding their microbiological load and decubitus at the suture removal. Bacterial accumulation on the same 5 suture materials was also tested in an in vitro biofilm model.
