Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Suturing is a crucial part of any oral surgical procedure. Sutures are of two types- absorbable and non absorbable. The main aim of the present study is to perform a knowledge, attitude and practice of oral surgeons based on the choice of suture material for the management of wound. Materials and Methods: This study includes 150 subjects. The subjects were made to fill the survey based on their daily practice. The subjects were made to fill the questionnaire through an online portal. They were informed about the study. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analysed using SPSS software. The results were analysed using chi square test and p value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: There were 84.7% (n=127) who considered suturing essential after every oral surgical procedure. There were 15.3% (n=23) surgeons who sutured only when it was necessary. There were 95.3% (n=143) subjects who were aware of types of suture material. Rest 4.7% had faint idea. There were 82% subjects who had idea about the resorption time of various sutures. Conclusion: From the study we can conclude that there is sufficient knowledge amongst the oral surgeons regarding the suturing technique and type of sutures
