Aim: Triclosan is an antiseptic substance that has been shown in preclinical studies to reduce bacterial load in the wound and slow bacterial growth by inhibiting fatty acid synthesis. It is claimed that the coating protects against colonization of the tissue around the suture. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of triclosan-coated polydioxanone versus uncoated polydioxanone sutures for the prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs) following hypospadias repair in children.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of antiseptic-coated silk sutures with triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 suture in reducing bacterial colonization after oral surgical procedures.
Materials And Methods: The patients who required multiple sutures after surgical procedures in the mandible were the study subjects. The sites of suturing were divided into three groups.

Objective: The oral cavity is a colossal reservoir for the bacteria. The healing of tissues is compromised after flap surgery, particularly in the presence of sutures, as they can act as repositories for bacteria, ultimately leading to surgical site infections. Hence, antibacterial-coated sutures have been considered as an alternative to reduce the risk of these infections and further improve the wound healing of the tissues after flap surgery.

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common cause of post-operative morbidity. According to the latest report announced by CDC, the SSI accounts for 20% of healthcare-associated infection with a high risk of mortality up to twofold to 11-fold increase with high economic burden for the prolonged hospital stay. Port site infection (PSI) is a subgroup of SSI occurring at the ports of laparoscopy.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the common postoperative complications observed after various periodontal surgeries, and sutures play a vital role in its causation. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of a novel tetracycline-coated suture with triclosan-coated and nonantibacterial-coated sutures on bacterial load reduction to prevent SSI by measuring the zone of inhibition.
Materials And Methods: Twenty systemically healthy individuals with moderate chronic periodontitis were included in this study.
