Purpose of the study: Suture site infection is a common complication of surgery that results in delayed healing and can even lead to systemic sepsis. It is a known fact that suture material increases the risk of wound sepsis by serving as an adherent foreign body. Wound infections often begin around the suture materials left within the wound. Hence a prospective double blinded study is undertaken to compare the efficacy of polyglactin 910 (vicryl) versus Triclosan coated polyglactin 910 (vicryl plus) in terms of reducing the bacterial adherence to suture material and promoting wound healing. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 40 patients reported to the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Mamata dental college & hospital who are planned to undergo minor oral surgical procedures.
