U.S., Oct. 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07852520) titled 'Breaking Force of Periodontal Suture Materials After Intraoral Exposure' on Sept. 25.
Brief Summary: This prospective, six-arm randomized clinical retrieval study was designed to compare the maximum breaking force of three commonly used non-absorbable periodontal suture materials-silk, polypropylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-in USP sizes 3-0 and 4-0 before clinical use and after 7 days of intraoral exposure following periodontal flap surgery. The study included 120 participants with Stage III Grade B periodontitis requiring periodontal flap surgery. Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio to one of six s...
