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.
