Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of triclosan coated sutures and the chlorhexidine sutures in preventing the surgical site infections. This study was conducted on 20 patients based on the inclusion and exclusion criterion. It was concluded that both triclosan and chlorhexidine impregnated polyglactin sutures have a significant ability in preventing surgical site infection. However, chlorhexidine sutures showed reduced infection rates, erythema and trismus as compared to triclosan sutures in healthy patients undergoing surgical removal of third molar under local anaesthesia. Therefore, their use in various intraoral procedures for effective control of inflammatory and infectious conditions should be highlighted.
