Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study is aimed to compare two different suture techniques in terms of wound healing. In this research, which is designed as an observational study, a comparison of simple and locked continuous suture techniques will be done. For this purpose, Selçuk University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, being treated at the full arch flap opened (for alveoplasty). Half of the arch will be closed by simple suture, the other half will be closed by continuous suture technique.

It is planned to evaluate wound healing with the Landry Healing Index and Early Wound Healing Score. It is planned to measure the amount of knot looseness in millimeters on the 7th day when the sutures will be removed. On the 7th day, it is planned to evaluate the suture removal pain for the patient and the ease of suture removal for the operator with the VAS scale. Data collected from these assessments will be statistically compared for simple and continuous sutures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Laundry Healing Index-1 [Day 1]

   Scoring wound healing according to Laundry Healing Index(1 to 5; 1 is the best/5 is the worst)

2. Laundry Healing Index-3 [Day 3]

   Scoring wound healing according to Laundry Healing Index(1 to 5; 1 is the best/5 is the worst)

3. Laundry Healing Index-7 [Day 7]

   Scoring wound healing according to Laundry Healing Index(1 to 5; 1 is the best/5 is the worst)

4. Early Wound Healing Score-1 [Day 1]

   Scoring wound healing according to Early Wound Healing Score(1 to 10; 1 is the best/10 is the worst)

5. Early Wound Healing Score-3 [Day 3]

   Scoring wound healing according to Early Wound Healing Score(1 to 10; 1 is the best/10 is the worst)

6. Early Wound Healing Score-7 [Day 7]

   Scoring wound healing according to Early Wound Healing Score(1 to 10; 1 is the best/10 is the worst)

7. Suturing Time [1 minutes after ending suture]

   The time between start and end of suture

8. Knot Looseness [Day 7]

   Measure loosening of the suture material

9. Pain at Suture Removal [Day 7]

   VAS scoring for pain at suture removal. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.

10. Suture Removal Difficulty [Day 7]

    VAS scoring for suture removal difficulty. The range of Scala is 0-10. A lower score means better results.
