Wound closing is critical to the completion of any surgical operation. An imperfect closure causes edge isolation, creating a possible route for bacterial contamination, which can lead to infection and scarring. While tissue adhesives and staples are now used as substitutes, surgical sutures remain the gold standard for a safe wound. The aim of this survey is to assess dental students' knowledge on the variety of suturing techniques. A comprehensive online survey of 100 dental students with simple questions about different types of sutures was performed. Each student was asked to complete a questionnaire of 20 questions. This study saw a total of 100 students take part in it. It was found that 58% of the participants opted for interrupted suturing technique and the rest 42% opted for simple continuous technique. It was found that 23% of the participants were not aware of the simple loop suturing technique and the rest 77% were aware of this suturing technique. Thus from the above results and discussion, we will conclude that almost all of the members are fairly privy to the distinctive suturing strategies; however; intensive expertise is required.
伤口闭合对于任何外科手术的完成都至关重要。不完美的闭合会导致边缘隔离，为细菌污染创造一条可能的途径，进而可能导致感染和瘢痕形成。虽然现在组织粘合剂和吻合钉被用作替代品，但手术缝线仍然是安全伤口的金标准。本次调查的目的是评估牙科学生对各种缝合技术的了解。对100名牙科学生进行了一项全面的在线调查，其中包含关于不同类型缝线的简单问题。要求每位学生完成一份包含20个问题的问卷。本研究共有100名学生参与。结果发现，58%的参与者选择间断缝合技术，其余42%选择单纯连续缝合技术。结果发现，23%的参与者不知道简单环扎缝合技术，其余77%知道这种缝合技术。因此，从上述结果和讨论中，我们可以得出结论，几乎所有成员都相当熟悉独特的缝合策略；然而，还需要深入的专业知识。
