Study Notes
- Surgical sutures are used to hold tissue in approximation after surgery.
- The most common suture material used today is PGA or Vicryl.
- A nonresorbable alternative is PTFE suture, which is nonwicking and has high tensile strength.
- Suture size is classified by diameter, with 3-0 being the most common in implant dentistry.
- The smallest-diameter suture material that will hold tissue in approximation should be used.
- Suture needles are classified by curvature, radius, and shape, with 3/8 and 1/2 circle needles being the most common in implant dentistry.
- Reverse cutting needles should be used to minimize severing of tissues.
- Interrupted simple loop suture is the most common suture used in implant dentistry.
- Figure-eight suture is commonly used with extraction sites and around papilla.
- Simple loop suture is more time-consuming but has the advantage of minimizing wound dehiscence.
