Summary

Some undesirable complications such as pain, swelling, trismus, paresthesia, hematoma, infection and, albeit rare, fractures may occur after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. More effective wound closure methods with fewer complications have positive effects on postoperative recovery. Suturing is the most commonly used wound closure technique after lower impacted wisdom tooth surgery. Suturing, which is the last step of the operation, contributes to wound healing in order to reposition and stabilize the tissue components and to control bleeding. In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silk and polyester sutures used in wound closure techniques, which are frequently used in lower impacted wisdom teeth surgery.

Conditions
