The objective of this study was to evaluate local tissue reactions at silk, chromic gut, polypropylene, polyester, and polyglactin 910 suture materials for intraoral applications. One hundred eighteen sutures were placed into the palatal mucosa of 26 male New Zealand rabbits so that each animal included all five biomaterials. The animals were fed a soft diet and decapitated 2, 4, or 8 days after suture placement. Soft tissue specimens including suture materials were prepared for light microscopy to determine the inflammatory zones including eosinophil infiltration on the suture tract. No significant differences were observed in the sutural zone diameter (Z1) between the suture materials at the 2nd day. At the 4th day, polypropylene and catgut had a lesser Z1 diameter compared to polyglactin 910. Dacron presented the widest mean Z1 diameter compared to polyglactin 910 (p<0.01), catgut (p<0.01), polypropylene (p<0.05) and silk (p<0.05) at the 8th day. On the day 8, the largest mean Z2 diameter was observed in dacron group compared to the mean Z2 values of catgut (p<0.05) and polyglactin 910 (p<0.01). Also the mean Z2 values of silk were significantly wider compared to polyglactin 910 (p<0.05). There was no difference between the eosinophil scores of the suture materials (p>0.05). Within the limitations of the present study, it may be said that silk and dakron sutures apparently induced more severe inflammatory reactions. When selecting a suture material for intraoral use the surgeons should take into consideration the tissue reaction caused by materials. Keywords

“…Silk and gut, as natural materials, cause considerable tissue inflammation and have been largely replaced by synthetic suture material. 8,22 Generally, 4-0 or 5-0 monofilament nylon can be used on the body and scalp, and 6-0 nylon on the face. 7,16 Polypropylene can be considered for the scalp, primarily because it is blue and easy to see.…”

“…Commonly, absorbable sutures are used for subcuticular wound closure, which can offer better aesthetic outcomes (5,6). If the suturing technique is performed under appropriate circumstances, it should eliminate dead space in subcutaneous tissues and minimize tension, which causes wound separation (7,8). Non absorbable sutures require removal post-operatively.…”

Background: Confirmed evidences on superiority of subcuticular suturing compared to interrupted suturing method, in terms of postoperative complications such as wound infection, size of scar, or abscess formation is few. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare absorbable subcuticular suturing supported with Steri-Strips™ to interrupted nonabsorbable suturing method after appendectomy. Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, seventy patients with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis at Besat hospital, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Iran in the year 2016 were enrolled in the study and were randomly assigned into two groups. In the case group (n = 35), the wound suturing was done using subcuticular suturing supported by Steri-Strips™ and in the control group (n = 35), suturing was performed using interrupted mattress suture. All patients were visited at postoperative day one, seven, thirty and ninety. Results: The width of the scar and the mean of severity of pain score at postoperative day seven in the case group were significantly
