Article Abstract
This study aimed to compare the colonization of (), (), () and () isolated from the oral cavity on different suture materials used in oral implantology. Patients scheduled for implant surgery were included in this study. After flap approximation, the surgical site was sutured using silk, nylon, polyglactin 910 (Vicryl) and triclosan-coated polyglactin 910 (Vicryl Plus) sutures in a randomized order. Seven days after surgery, the sutures were removed and incubated in bile esculin agar (for ), MacConkey agar (for ), mitis salivarius agar (for ), and mannitol salt agar (for ) at 37°C for 24 h. The colonies were then counted. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Vicryl sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl Plus, nylon, and silk. There was no significant difference between nylon and silk (P=0.5) or between Vicryl and Vicryl Plus (P=0.4). Vicryl Plus sutures showed the highest accumulation of followed by Vicryl, silk and nylon (P<0.01). Vicryl sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl Plus, silk, and nylon. Vicryl Plus sutures showed the highest accumulation of , followed by Vicryl, nylon, and silk. Nylon sutures showed the least microbial accumulation. Vicryl and triclosan-coated Vicryl Plus sutures had no advantage over the commonly used silk sutures in decreasing the number of bacteria.

Introduction: Workplace-related traumatic lip injuries, particularly at the vermilion-cutaneous junction, are challenging due to functional impairment and visible scarring. While typically managed in specialized settings, some cases present in primary care clinics. This report details the successful management of a penetrating laceration at this junction using layered closure and MEBO for optimized healing, with postoperative scar massage therapy to enhance recovery.

Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is the main procedure performed for recurrent patellar instability. Choosing wisely between graft options is particularly important in this specific population, who often lacks neuromuscular control. The gracilis, semitendinosus, and quadriceps tendons are the most frequently used autografts, but harvesting can lead to reduced thigh muscle strength and poorer balance control.

Background: Surgical knot security is essential to preventing complications such as knot failure or tissue tearing. The number of throws and the use of surgeon's knots influence knot strength; thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of throws and surgeon's knots on the tensile strength and loop elongation of Vicryl and Prolene 5-0 sutures.
Methods: Vicryl and Prolene 5-0 sutures were tied in knots of 3, 4, and 5 throws, across 12 different knot sequences: single knots only, surgeon's knots only, and an increasing number of surgeon's knots.
