Effect of the absorption rate of suture material on oral mucosal scar formation: A triple-blind randomized controlled trial

Introduction: Extensive oral mucosal scar formation following LeFort-I osteotomy can pose patients with several scar-related complications in case of function as well as cosmesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the absorption rate of Vicryl Rapide and Vicryl on oral mucosal scar f...

description Introduction: Extensive oral mucosal scar formation following LeFort-I osteotomy can pose patients with several scar-related complications in case of function as well as cosmesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the absorption rate of Vicryl Rapide and Vicryl on oral mucosal scar formation. Material and methods: In a triple-blind randomized controlled trial study, Vicryl and Vicryl Rapide were used randomly for wound closure on the left and right sides of the LeFort-I incision line. Three maxillofacial surgeons evaluated mucosal scars on each side two and four months post-surgically using Mucosal Scarring Index (MSI). Results: The differences in the total scores of MSI between the Vicryl and Vicryl Rapide groups were not significant, neither in the anterior nor in the posterior areas (Paired t-test, df = 25, CI = 95 %, P-value >0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated that Vicryl Rapide is comparable to Vicryl suture material regarding the mucosal scar formation following LeFort-I osteotomy surgery; therefore, it could be considered for such oral surgical procedures.
