2. • In surgery, the choice of suture materials has
been largely empirical. One learns the art and
craft of surgery from once chief and the
tendency is to follow the suture materials used
by him or her. Thus the choice of suture
material has not always been scientific.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. Principles of suture selection :
• knowldege of the tissues
• physical and biological properties of suture
• condition of the wound
• post-operative course of the patient
• skin, fascia & tendon – healing slow
• peritoneum, liver & muscle – healing rapid
• multifilament sutures avoided in contaminated
wounds
www.indiandentalacademy.com

• Circum-zygomatic
• Circum-mandibular
wires
• Curved
– Eye
– Eyeless
– round body
– cutting needle
– facilitates working in
depth
– more confined operated
site
– greater curvature
required
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. • Round body needles : used to separate tissue fibers & for
soft tissues
• Mayo’s needle : to penetrate periosteum
• Blunt point suture needle : for friable tissues
• Conventional cutting needle : keratinized mucosa & skin
• Reverse cutting needle : triangular in cross-section; apex
cutting edge on outside of needle curvature
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. • Slim blade needle : plastic and cosmetic
surgery
• Trocar point needle : in dense tissues
• Taper cut needle : Cardiovascular surgery
• Micropoint : for Opthalmic
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. Principles of suturing :
• grasp the needle at apporximately 3/4th the
distance from the point
• enter the tissue perpendicular to the surface
• should follow the curvature of the needle
• from free to the fixed tissue
• thinner to the thicker
• deeper to superficial
• tissues should not close under tension
• knot should not be placed on incision line
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. • sutures placed 4mm apart
• sutures should be tied so that edges are everted
• dog ear should be eliminated
• suture should be placed at an equal distance from
the incision on both the sides & at an equal depth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. Tapes :
• Advantage
– excellent cosmetic
results
– low infection rate
– can be used in
contaminated wounds
– easy & quick
• Disadvantage
& Adhesives :
• Cyanoacrylates
• Advantage
– quick to use
– do not delay wound
healing
• Disadvantage
– perfect hemostasis
required
– expensive
– not used in
contaminated wounds
– blistering of skin
– perfect hemostasis
should be ensured www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Staples
& Tissue Glues

– End to end
& spleen
• Advantages

– easy to remove
– acceptable scars
– access to difficult areas
– to attach skin grafts
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. Knots :
• A knot, is an interwining of threads for purpose
of joining them
• Knot tying
– one hand / two hand
– instrument tie
• Instrument tie is more convenient in closed
areas
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Square knot
• formed by wrapping
ties around needle
holder once in
opposite direction
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. Surgeon’s knot
• formed by two
throws of suture
around needle on first
tie & one throw in
opposite direction on
second tie
• Advantage
– reduced slippage ofwww.indiandentalacademy.com
first
51. Granny knot
• involves a tie in one
direction followed by
single tie in same
direction as first
• a third tie is then
squared on the
second to hold the
knot permanently
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Suture method
•
Interrupted
– used in areas of
tension
– Advantage
• strong
• independent
• infection –
selected sutures can
be removed
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. • Continuous –
simple interrupted
suture is placed, a
needle is then reinserted in continuous
fashion
The suture passes
perpendiuclar to
incision line underneath
tissue & diagonally on
surface & ended tying
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. •
Advantage
– rapid technique
– even distribution of
tension
– water tight closure
• Disadvantage
– infection – whole suture
should be removed
– impedes blood supply to
wound edges
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. • Locking continuous
suture Degree of locking is
provided by withdrawing
the suture through its own
loop
• Advantage
– suture will align
perpendicular to its
incision
– prevents continuous
tightening of suture as
wound closure
progresses
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. •
Figure of 8 –
–
used in extraction sites
– provides protection to
socket
– as well as adaptation of
gingival papilla around
adjacent tooth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
57. • Sub-cuticular suture :
– absorbable 4-0 suture
materials used
– knot should be inverted
– a continuous suture can
be used with no knots
by having the ends exit
at a short distance from
wound
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. • Tension suture
– to prevent wound
dehiscence
– non-absorbable nylon
prolene used with
plastic tubing
– to reduce tension
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. • Mattress suture
– Vertical
– Horizontal
• Vertical
– needle is passed close to
the incision line on both
sides & then engages
tissue deep to the first
pass when returning to
the original site
– Advantage
• run parallel to the blood
supply of the flap – not
interfere with healing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. • Horizontal :
– passes perpendicular to
incision line underneath
tissue & parallel to it on
the surface & then again
perpendicular to incision
line underneath tissue to
be knotted on that side
– Interrupted – produces
broad contact of wound
margins
– Continuous – intra-oral
bone grafting
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. • Dog ear elimination :
– excess tissue is
undermined & incision is
made at 30 to the
parent incision directed
towards undermined side
– excising the excess
tissue with elliptical
incision followed by
closure
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. Suture removal :
• Suture should be grasped with an instrument &
elevated above epithelial surface
• Scissors should be used to transect one side of the loop
as close to the epithelial surface as possible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Conclusion :
• Every surgeon should be in a position to make
a logical decision regarding which suture
material / technique to use in a given clinical
situation, because the choice of wound closure
material & technique may make a difference in
