Comparison of Healing Efficacy and Pain Levels Following Periodontal Surgery Using Cyanoacrylate Tissue Adhesive and Suturing Techniques: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Periodontitis, a world’s most prevalent infectious dental conditions, can lead to destruction of the supporting and surrounding tooth structure.[1] The term “periodontitis” is buildup of two words, i.e., “periodont-” meaning “structure surrounding the teeth” and “itis” means “inflammation.” Periodontal diseases are inflammatory and destructive diseases of the dentogingival complex associated with specific periodontal pathogens that colonize the tooth surface, gingival margin and subgingival environment. [2,3] Periodontal diseases lead to damage of the periodontal tissues supporting the teeth (bone and connective tissue) and affect the quality of life of the affected individuals: poor alimentation, tooth loss, social and financial problems.[4]
