Although wound healing is a rather orderly process, the time needed for its completion is dependent on size and volume of the wound site, availability of appropriate tissue elements in the adjacent undamaged tissue and other factors. Numerous suture materials which vary in structure and composition are currently being used for intra-oral wound closure. These require placement of knots to secure the suture material to the tissues.
