Abstract
Background: It is known that sutures enhance wound closure and promote healing. Sutures initially provide the mechanical strength to seal the wound and protect it from pathogens. Previous studies of suture mechanics focused on the material strength or knotting methods in vitro. Only a few studies have investigated the correlation between the healing strength of wounds and suturing and that was the purpose of our study.
Aim of the study: to assess the wound healing after suture removal and knowing the correlation between the time interval of suture removal and wound healing.
Subject and method: 50 patients (male and females) were participated in a comparative study to assess the wound healing after suture removal by using Mann-Whiteny test to evaluate the tissues reaction after suture removal.
Results: It was found that the median of gingival index and healing index on the seventh day was higher than on the fifth day. Regarding to the genders, there is no significant difference in P-value among both genders.
Conclusion: Based on the result of this study, 7 days was recognized the best time interval for suture removal in comparison with the other time interval.
