Non-absorbable sutures for dental surgery

Non-absorbable sutures are used when long-term tissue support is necessary, particularly in areas where tissues take longer to heal or where extra stability is required. These sutures are often used in situations where the tissue is under high stress: in areas subject to a great deal of movement or stress, where a resorbable suture would not last long enough.

In dental surgery, non-absorbable sutures can be used in complex implant procedures or oral surgery, where stability and strength over a longer period are crucial for a successful outcome.
