Background: Many factors contribute to uneventful and healthy postoperative healing. Hence, closure of periodontal flap postsurgery for the attainment of primary union between flap margins is of utmost importance. Isoamyl 2-cyanoacrylate is a tissue adhesive, which can be used for the closure of elevated flaps to overcome the problems associated with conventional suture material like silk.

Aim: This study aims to compare healing after periodontal flap surgery using isoamyl 2-cyanoacrylate (bioadhesive material) and silk sutures.

Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on twenty patients who needed flap surgical procedure for pocket therapy.

Statistical Analysis Used: Results were subjected to statistical analysis. Paired -test was used for intragroup postprocedure improvement in each parameter, and independent sample -test was used for intergroup comparison.

Results: Early healing was seen with isoamyl 2-cyanoacrylate during the 1 week when compared with silk. However, no significant difference was seen in the 2 week when both the materials were compared.

Conclusions: It can be concluded that cyanoacrylate aids in early initial healing.

Introduction As the incidence of periodontal diseases continues to surge, there is a concurrent elevation in the demand for periodontal treatment. Periodontal surgical therapy is done to control and eliminate disease activity. Conventionally, silk sutures have been considered the gold standard for post-operative flap closure that leads to biofilm accumulation and tissue trauma.

The use of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive for surgical wound closure has become increasingly popular in recent years and has shown efficacy. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of cyanoacrylate adhesive as a substitute for conventional suture placement after extraction of impacted third molars. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane, and gray literature databases were searched for randomized or controlled prospective clinical trials published up to October 2022 that compared the use of cyanoacrylate adhesive and conventional silk suture in third molar surgeries.

Background In order to maintain the surgery site's shape, functionality, and aesthetics, closure of the wound is essential for intra-oral and general surgical procedures. Wound closure speeds up healing by reducing the buildup of inflammatory cells. For a wound to heal well, the incision must be precise, the tissue must be handled delicately, the wound must be precisely repositioned, and the closure material must have optimum functional properties and be sterile.

The objective of this study was to compare the silk suture with a cyanoacrylate adhesive to stabilize the free gingival graft in conjunction with Er: YAG laser-assisted recipient site preparation to augment the keratinized tissue in gingival recession cases. This randomized trial comprised of 300 recession defects patients. All the included patients were diagnosed using Miller class I and II gingival recession defects classification.

Introduction: Today is the era of "wireless" in technology and here comes era of "sutureless" in the field of surgery. Every surgeon wishes for better wound healing with better cosmesis without complications and early back to routine activities. All this is possible by use of adhesive for wound edges of circumcision is shown by us in this study.
