This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester sutures on postoperative complications in lower impacted third molar surgery.
After extraction of the bilateral lower third molars (35 patients), two different types of sutures were used on each side. Group 1( Polybutester suture) , group 2 (Polypropylene suture). Measurements to evaluate edema, trismus, and pain (using the VAS scale) had been taken pre-procedure and post-procedure( 2nd and 7th day )

|---|---|---|---|
| Polybutester | Experimental | Polybutester suture is a copolymer of polyglycol terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate. It is a synthetic, non-resorbable, monofilament suture material. Polybutester is stronger than other monofilaments. Suture memory is poor and packaging does not retain its shape. Therefore, this suture is easier to work with and the knot security is higher. Polybutester suture adapts better to tensile strength than other synthetic sutures. This suture adapts to the increasing wound edema and returns to its original shape when the edema subsides. Also, this suture reduces the risk of hypertrophic scar formation due to its ability to adapt to the edema and changing configuration of a healing wound. It produces better cosmetic results. |
|
| Polypropylene | Active Comparator | Polypropylene, used as suture material, is formed by bringing isotactic stereoisomers of a linear hydrocarbon crystalline polymer into sterile monofilament form. Polymer polypropylene is a non-resorbable, synthetic, monofilament suture. It has high compressive strength and low tissue reactivity. It is resistant to infection formation. In general, the ability to close and protect the wound is good. The suture memory is high, therefore it is difficult to use and the knot security is less than other sutures. Allergic reaction due to polypropylene sutures is very rare. |

| Edema evaluation using Facial measurement |
Postoperative edema was evaluated by the distance between predetermined facial anatomic landmarks (from the mandibular angle to lateral corner of the eye, from tragus to labial commissura, and from tragus to soft tissue pogonion) which was measured with using thread and millimeter ruler. |
