When your treatment plan involves extraction and grafting of the site in preparation for a dental implant, this involves the creation of a wound and proper suture closure of that wound is necessary to promote optimal healing. Suturing the surgical site positions and secures the designed flap to promote healing. It also properly holds the membrane, when and if a membrane is needed. Proper suturing technique should hold the edges of a flap in position until the site has sufficiently healed and can withstand normal functional stresses and resist reopening of the wound.
It is important for all general dentists to be aware of the different types of suture materials available for optimal wound closure, including overall flap design. Learn, through hundreds of step-by-step clinical photos, how to perform predictable suturing and flap design to promote the most optimal healing possible for success.
