  • Title: Osteoplasty of the mandibular condyle with preservation of the articular soft tissue cover: comparison of fibrin sealant and sutures for fixation of the articular soft tissue cover in rabbits.

    Abstract:
    Fibrin sealant and sutures were compared for fixation of the articular soft tissue cover after it had been raised in association with osteoplasty of the mandibular condyle. Nine adult rabbits were operated on bilaterally with the use of fibrin sealant on one joint and sutures on the other joint. The rabbits were killed after 3 months. Macroscopic and histologic evaluations of the condyles did not reveal any appreciable differences between the two techniques. Fibrin sealant was, however, technically easier to apply than the sutures. It was concluded that fibrin sealant might be an alternative to sutures for fixation of the articular soft tissue cover after it has been raised in association with osteoplasty of the mandibular condyle.
