ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The closure of the periodontal flaps post-surgery is a necessity for attainment of a primary union between the flap margins and the establishment of a healthy dentogingival junction. N-butyl cyanoacrylate is a tissue adhesive, which can be used for the closure of the incised wounds to overcome the problems associated with conventional suture materials like silk.OBJECTIVE:
The present study was carried out to assess the healing of the periodontal flaps when closed with the conventional silk sutures and N-butyl cyanoacrylate. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The study was carried out on 24 patients who needed flap surgical procedure for pocket therapy.RESULTS:
It was found that healing with the cyanoacrylate is associated with less amount of inflammation during the first week when compared with silk. However, over a period of 21 days to 6 weeks, the sites treated with both the materials showed similar healing patterns.CONCLUSION:
It can be concluded that cyanoacrylate aids in early initial healing.
