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.
