Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of suture materials on surgical outcomes and postoperative wound healing in dentistry.
Material and methods. The study included 30 patients who presented to a clinic in Saransk for treatment of facial and oral wounds caused by traumatic injuries.
Patients were divided into three groups of 10. Group 1 used polyglycol acid sutures, Group 2 used nylon (polyamide), and Group 3 used coated monofilament polyethylene (monocryl).
An integrated approach was used to evaluate wound healing.
Results and discussion. It was found that patients in Group 1 had no complications in the postoperative period, while 33 % of patients in Group 2 experienced coarse scar tissue formation, and 28 % of patients in Group 3 experienced bleeding.
The values of parameters characterizing healing time, cytokine and growth factor levels in the study groups were obtained.
Conclusions. According to the study results, polyglycol acid demonstrated the highest clinical efficacy compared to nylon and monocryl and can be recommended as the prefer choice in clinical practice.

Keywords: suture, dentistry, wound healing, mucosal repair, risk of complications.
