Abstract :
By holding tissues together to speed up the healing process, surgical sutures are used to secure and restore active or trauma-induced wounds. In dentistry, a variety of sutures are employed. Both absorbable and nonabsorbable suture materials are part of the primary category. A well-fitting suture prevents the displacement forces caused by external agents, functional movements, and muscle insertions. The potential of novel suture materials to resemble wounds and cure wounds is driving up their manufacture in recent times. In order to help the clinician obscure the best possible soft tissue care, this review provides an update on the features and guiding principles of suture selection.
