ABSTRACT
The use of cyanoacrylate for wound closure is safe whether intraorally or in the skin of the face. Several advantages are observed in the early postoperative period, immediate haemostasis, time saving, better sealing of the wound and improved healing rate. Patients are also comfortable and less apprehensive when local anaesthesia is used. Absence of suture marks is especially appreciated by patients with facial skin wounds closed by cyanoacrylate. On the other hand, some difficulties are met with during application. The high cost of the material is another disadvantage. We can conclude that cyanoacrylate can be a new addition and aid for the conventional method of wound closure
