NOVOSYN® Quick Versus MONOSYN® Quick Suture Material in Resective Periodontal Surgery

This study compares two absorbable suture materials — NOVOSYN Quick and MONOSYN Quick — used to close surgical wounds during resective periodontal surgery (gum surgery that removes diseased gum tissue and reshapes the bone and gum contour around teeth). Both sutures are designed to dissolve on their own over time, but they differ in their composition, handling characteristics, and dissolution timelines. Choosing the right suture can affect how quickly and comfortably the wound heals, how much inflammation occurs, and how often patients need to return for suture removal. Adult patients undergoing resective periodontal surgery who are having one of the standard types of incisions (crestal, vertical, intrasulcular, or submarginal) performed and who have provided written informed consent for data collection are eligible. People undergoing emergency surgery, who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who take medications or have conditions that affect wound healing, or who are allergic to suture materials are excluded. Participants will be randomly assigned to have their surgical wounds closed with one of the two suture types and followed for wound healing outcomes, including inflammation, wound closure, and patient comfort. This research is valuable because periodontal surgery is performed routinely in dental practices worldwide, and a clear evidence base comparing suture options can help surgeons standardize their approach and optimize patient outcomes.
