Efficacy of Using Knotless Barbed Suture vs N-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Glue Tissue Adhesive for Closure of Intraoral Surgical Incisions

Brief Summary

This clinical study aims to compare the efficacy of knotless barbed sutures versus N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue tissue adhesive for the closure of intra-oral surgical incisions, with traditional PGA vicryl sutures as a control group. The study evaluates three primary outcomes: the time required for incision closure, postoperative pain levels using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, and the soft tissue healing progress using Landry's wound healing index. Secondary outcomes will include the assessment of postoperative edema and other clinical healing parameters. The goal is to determine which closure technique provides superior surgical efficiency, less patient discomfort, and better wound healing in oral and maxillofacial procedures.
