Emergence of Advanced Absorbable and Non-Absorbable Sutures

The global dental sutures has witnessed significant technological advancements over the past few years with the emergence of advanced absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials. Absorbable sutures made from materials such as polyglactin 910 and polyglycolic acid allow surgeons to close wounds without needing to remove sutures later. These absorbable sutures dissolve naturally over time as the wound heals. Some of the most commonly used absorbable sutures include Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), Polyglycolic Acid (Dexon), Poliglecaprone 25 (Monocryl).

Non-absorbable Dental Suture such as nylon, polypropylene, and stainless steel are used when wound approximation and support are needed for longer periods, usually more than 6 weeks. They allow approximation of tissue edges and support tissue healing without dissolving. Common non-absorbable sutures include Nylon (Prolen), Polypropylene (Prolene), Stainless Steel Wire (Mersuture). These long lasting sutures enable precise tissue approximation and support in healing wounds that experience tension or undergone extensive surgery.

Rise in Dental Implant and Bone Graft Procedures

The demand for dental sutures is driven by the rise in dental implant and bone graft procedures worldwide. Dental implant placement and bone grafting often require use of sutures for wound closure after surgery. Sutures help bring together the soft tissues like gums or mucosa tightly surrounding the implant or bone grafted area. This aids in faster healing with improved aesthetic outcomes. The growing popularity of dental implants and advances in bone grafting techniques are contributing to the increasing usage of sutures in the dental market.
