Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Considering the wide variety of surgical sutures currently marketed in the field of Dentistry, it was decided to conduct a study comparing the microbial adhesion and antibacterial activity of three different types of sutures used in Oral Surgery (Silk, non-absorbable polyamide monofilament and non-absorbable expanded polytetrafluoroethylene).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The general or primary objective is:

• To compare 3 non-absorbable suture materials used in oral surgery: silk, polyamide monofilament and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

The specific or secondary objectives are:

* To evaluate how each type of suture influences wound healing and the patient's postoperative period.
* To study bacterial colonization in each type of suture.
* To determine the tissue reaction and clinical characteristics of each suture.
