Biomechanical evaluation of cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive for intraoral wound closure

Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of a novel cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive (CTA) for soft-tissue closure of the (non-) tooth-bearing alveolar process and around dental implants. Materials and methods Halves of porcine mandibles ( n  = 21) were ra...

Description
Summary:Objectives The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of a novel cyanoacrylate-based tissue adhesive (CTA) for soft-tissue closure of the (non-) tooth-bearing alveolar process and around dental implants. Materials and methods Halves of porcine mandibles ( n  = 21) were randomly divided into three experimental intraoral wound closure groups (A–C) with three different mucoperiosteal flap types (F1–3, n  = 7 each): F1, crestal incision between the last incisor and the canine with a mesial and distal vestibular relief; F2, crestal double-T-shaped incision and dental implant placement between the canine and the first premolar; and F3, trapezoidal incision on the second premolar. F1–3 were respectively closed using (A) monofil non-resorbable sutures, (B) CTA, and (C) a combination of both. Tensile strength (TS) and elasticity (E) measurements were performed for biomechanical analysis. Results In F1, CTA showed a significantly reduced TS compared to A ( p
