A comparison of the continuous and interrupted suturing techniques.

E H Nelson, E Funakoshi, T J O'Leary

    Journal of Periodontology
    |May 1, 1977

    Summary

    Interrupted and continuous suturing techniques showed no significant differences in periodontal outcomes after apically positioned flap surgery. However, interrupted suturing offered a better clinical flap adaptation for periodontal regeneration.

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Surgical Dentistry

    Background:

    • Apically positioned flaps are used in periodontal surgery.
    • Suturing techniques are crucial for flap closure and healing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of interrupted versus continuous suturing for primary closure of apically positioned flaps.
    • To evaluate the impact of different suturing methods on periodontal health outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • A split-mouth design was used with 22 flap procedures in 10 patients.
    • Interrupted and continuous suturing were applied to contralateral sites.
    • Gingival health, recession, residual pocket depth, and loss of attachment were assessed at 3 and 6 months post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • No statistically significant differences were observed between interrupted and continuous suturing groups for recession, pocket depth, or loss of attachment.
  • Gingival health status showed no significant variations between the two suturing methods.

    • Conclusions:

    • Both interrupted and continuous suturing techniques are equally effective in terms of periodontal healing after apically positioned flap surgery.
    • Interrupted suturing may provide superior clinical flap adaptation, potentially aiding in achieving desired surgical outcomes.
