A comparative study between two different suture materials in oral implantology

Abstract

The bacterial adherence on Teflon-coated polyester suture was slightly inferior than silk suture although it did not show the expected differences.

Popularity of suture materials among residents and faculty members of a postdoctoral periodontology program

“…When silk was tested against polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), in implant surgery, silk showed less intraoperative handling, more patient discomfort when used and when removed, and more plaque accumulation. 10 Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the preference of suture materials among a group of clinicians at a teaching institution.…”

“…After 14 days, Chromic Gut had more stable strength versus fast‐absorbing polyglactin (Vicryl Rapide; Johnson & Johnson). When silk was tested against polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), in implant surgery, silk showed less intraoperative handling, more patient discomfort when used and when removed, and more plaque accumulation …”

Bacterial Accumulation on Triclosan-Coated and Silk Sutures After Dental Implant Surgery

“…(1,6) Monofilament suture has been described to decrease the number of bacteria, to make handling difficult, and to contribute to patient discomfort because of its physical composition. (1,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) Triclosan-coated multifilament suture reduces surgical site infections due to its antibacterial property . (11)(12)(13) However, this antibacterial effect has been observed during the first three days after suture placement, and this antibacterial suture can provide little safety in surgical site infection control.…”

Adhesión Bacteriana en Hilo de Sutura de Seda Negra y Nylon Post Extracción Dental Simple: Ensayo Clínico Controlado

“…La seda quirúrgica es multifilamento de origen orgánico con facilidad de manejo (Armas Moredo et al, 2009;Pons-Vicente et al, 2011), ampliamente uti-lizada para diferentes procedimientos (Pons-Vicente et al). Las suturas de nylon permiten una buena manipulación intraoperatoria (Wong et al, 2007) y su resistencia mecánica es estable (Nozaki et al, 2012).…”
