    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Sutures are routinely used to achieve haemostasis and to approximate soft tissues after extractions, periodontal procedures, implant surgery and soft tissue biopsies.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Suturing is an important aspect of dental practice, the selection of an appropriate suture and technique is integral to obtaining an optimal outcome.
