Comparing Novosyn and Monosyn sutures in gum surgery
Randomized, Monocentric, Double Blinded, Prospective Study to Evaluate the Early Wound Healing After the Utilization of NOVOSYN® Quick Versus MONOSYN® Quick Suture Material in Resective Periodontal Surgery
This study is testing if two types of stitches used in gum surgery help wounds heal just as well in adults.

What this trial studies
This study aims to determine if Novosyn Quick and Monosyn Quick sutures are equivalent in promoting early wound healing in adults undergoing resective periodontal surgery. The equivalence will be assessed based on clinical signs of reepithelization, haemostasis, and inflammation measured 10 ± 5 days post-surgery. Secondary objectives include evaluating complications, suture handling, patient pain, satisfaction, and optional bacterial contamination of the sutures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults undergoing resective periodontal surgery with specific incision types.
Not a fit: Patients requiring emergency surgery, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and those with conditions affecting wound healing will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into optimal suture materials for improved healing outcomes in periodontal surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Similar studies have shown promising results in comparing suture materials, but this specific comparison is relatively novel.
