Summary

The final stage of any surgical procedure is suturing. Sutures have a vital rule in wound healing- they are responsible for flaps approximation, hemostasis and restoring function and esthetics.

Choosing the right suture is crucial especially in oral sites because of its unique anatomical features: the presence of saliva and the patient's everyday function- swallowing, talking, eating etc.

Sutures require certain physical properties such as tensile strength, dimensional stability, lack of memory, knot security and elasticity. One highly important quality is the ability to prevent or reduce bacterial adhesion and by that to prevent secondary infection. There are many kinds of sutures in the market- none of which contains all the ideal features.

The aim of the study is to compare the amount of bacterial adhesion to different kinds of sutures in patients undergoing periodontal surgery.
