Summary

Excisional biopsies are commonly performed in the oral mucosa, and proper wound closure and hemostasis are critical for the success of the surgical procedure. Suturing remains the gold standard for closing surgical incisions; however, it has several drawbacks, including being time-consuming and requiring technical skill for proper placement. In addition, access to posterior areas of the oral cavity can be challenging. Suturing may also cause patient discomfort during needle penetration of tissues and can serve as a potential pathway for microbial contamination. Therefore, this randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate one of the latest tissue adhesives from the cyanoacrylate group (PeriAcryl 90 HV) compared to conventional surgical sutures (Nylon 4-0) for wound closure following oral excisional biopsies. A total of 28 patients with oral fibroma will be randomly assigned to either the tissue adhesive group or the suture group (14 patients per group).

Conditions

  • Mouth Neoplasms

Interventions

DEVICE

Tissue adhesive (PeriAcryl 90 HV)

After excisional biopsy of oral fibroma and achieving hemostasis by applying pressure with saline-soaked gauze, the wound surface will be gently dried. PeriAcryl 90 HV (high viscosity butyl cyanoacrylate) will be applied directly using a pipette to cover the entire wound surface . A second layer will be applied 10-15 seconds after the first layer to ensure adequate thickness and durability. The adhesive will polymerize upon contact with moist tissue within approximately 10-20 seconds.

DEVICE

Surgical suture (Nylon 4-0)

After excisional biopsy of oral fibroma and achieving hemostasis, the wound margins will be approximated using tissue forceps. Interrupted sutures using Nylon 4-0 will be placed to close the wound. Sutures will be removed on day 7 postoperatively.
