Intra-oral wound closure after alveoloplasty using silk compaired to iso - amyl -2- cyanoacrylate

Title: Comparative evaluation of effectiveness of tissue adhesive (iso amyl 2-cyanoacrylate glue) and traditional sutures (3-0 silk suture) for intra-oral wound closure after alveoloplasty: A clinical study. Objective: The Aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of immediate and post-operative hemostasis, Post-operative pain and the Wound Healing Property of Iso amyl 2-cyanoacrylate glue in the closure of intraoral surgical wounds compared with 3-0 silk sutures. Material and method: A total of 15 patients requiring bilateral alveoloplasty in the same arch were included in the study. Patient with any preexisting pathology os systemic disease were excluded. after alve After alveoloplasty was performed, the wound was closed using 3-0 braided silk
sutures on one side, and using Iso amyl 2-cyanoacrylate bio adhesive on the other side. Patients were evaluated based on the following parameters: The immediate and post-operative hemostasis, the Wound Healing Property the time to the use of the first rescue medication; the side where pain first arises; and the side where wound healing begins first.
Results: Compared to 3-0 silk sutures, cyanoacrylate demonstrated better hemostatic properties, reduced operative time, reduced postoperative pain and better wound healing.
Conclusion: These data suggest that cyanoacrylate glue is an adequate alternative to conventional sutures to close the surgical wound after alveoloplasty, and better than are 3-0 silk sutures.
