Study variables
ADHESION, CAVITY
The patients were categorized into two groups in terms of suture material to be used, and the PET suture (Ti-cron, Medtronic-Covidien, UK, 3/0, 75 cm, 3/8, reverse cutting and coated with silicon for antibacterial adhesion) was used in Group 1, and the silk suture (Silk, Doğsan, TÜRKİYE, 3/0, 75 cm, 3/8, reverse cutting) in Group 2. Ensuring the double-blinded study design, suturing was performed by an independent surgeon outside the study. In addition, the sutures were soaked in rifamycin solution by the auxiliary staff to avoid distinguishing their color and then transferred to the oral cavity.
