"The concept for success in periodontal and implant surgery is related to the ability of perfectly performing every single step of the procedure. Starting from this point, the flap design, the line of incision, the split or full-thickness elevation are not the only critical stages of the surgery, but also the management of the soft tissues during the final phases of the operation has to be performed at the best. For this reason, PTFE can be considered as the gold standard for the choice of the suturing material. The perfect tightness of the knot, the sliding, the biocompatibility, the little plaque retention represent basic characteristics during the choice of the suture, and the PTFE has all of them. Their ability to keep the flaps well closed and the incapability to keep the plaque are a plus in the post surgery period, so to limit any possible complication that may occur as the opening of the flaps with separation of the soft tissues or infection on the suture line. For these reasons, our personal preference is for the Omnia PTFE in all the operations of periodontal plastic and regene-rative surgery, ridge preservation and bone regenerative surgery."
