Background:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of suturing on the early wound healing of donor sites of subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG), harvested by the single incision technique (SIT), following the application of a collagen sponge.Methods: Thirty-six patients were randomized to receive a collagen sponge with or without sutures in the palatal donor sites following connective tissue grafting via the SIT. Outcome variables were early healing index (EHI) at 7, 14, and 30 days, self-reported pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS) recorded on the 0 to 100 scale at 7 and 14 days, and immediate and delayed bleeding. Results: No significant differences were found between groups at baseline. EHI index showed no differences between groups in all-time intervals. Eight subjects from suture group (SG) and 10 from no suture group (nSG) showed complete wound closure at day 14 (P >0.05) and at 30 days, complete closure was observed in 35 out of 36 patients. Four subjects from the SG and three from the nSG had immediate bleeding (P >0.05), while delayed bleeding was observed in two subjects from the SG and three from the nSG during the first week of healing (P >0.05). No differences were found in VAS scale between groups (SG, 36.2 ± 24.8; nSG, 21.5 ± 24.2, P >0.05). Conclusion:It can be concluded that when a collagen sponge is placed in palatal donor areas of SCTG harvest by means of the SIT (incision length of ≈15 mm), sutured and non-sutured sites display similar early wound healing outcomes and patient-reported outcomes.
MODALIDAD DE TRABAJO DEL TALLER DE PERI-IMPLANTITIS.La misma se dividió en 3 etapas:1) Desarrollo de temáticas guía, selección y envío de artículos, 2) Recepción, evaluación y devolución de artículos y 3) Taller propiamente dicho.PRIMERA ETAPA: dio inicio en febrero de 2014, donde se formularon 5 preguntas guía con el objetivo de ordenar la discusión del taller. Ellas fueron: Diagnóstico, Epidemiología, Factores de riesgo, Antecedentes Periodontales y Terapéutica de la Peri-Implantitis. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica de artículos en PUBMED, EMBASE, LILACS y COCHRANE, en el lapso comprendido del año 2000 a la fecha, tanto en inglés como en portugués, siendo utilizados los siguientes descriptores: peri-implantitis, peri implant disease, perimplantitis, risk factor, epidemiology, incidence, prevalecence, treatment, therapeutics, combinado con operadores booleanos. En su mayoría, los artículos recuperados consistieron en estudios retrospectivos, transversales, revisiones sistemáticas, consensos, escasos meta-análisis y estudios prospectivos. Fueron descartados reportes de casos así como revisiones de autor. Por parte de los responsables del taller se seleccionaron
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
