Studies on the Periodontal Surgery III. Examination of Suture Materials in Human Periodontal Tissues

We made examination of braided silk, chromic catgut, polyglycolic acid and nylon in human periodontal tissues. Operative procedures were performed on 57 male and female patients. They had sutures placed 3, 7, or 14 days preoperatively in the tissue at the prospective operative site and at the time o...

Summary:We made examination of braided silk, chromic catgut, polyglycolic acid and nylon in human periodontal tissues. Operative procedures were performed on 57 male and female patients. They had sutures placed 3, 7, or 14 days preoperatively in the tissue at the prospective operative site and at the time of surgery tissue reaction to sutures was graded clinically and studied histologically. The results were as follows. 1) Clinically tissue reactions increased respectively from nylon, PGA, braided silk to catgut. 2) Histologically neutrophiles around catgut and braided silk infiltrated more than nylon and PGA, so the former experienced more severe reaction than the latter. 3) The fact that the sutures were multifilament or monofilament had no relation to the physical reactions.
