Different Suturing Techniques
Suturing is an important aspect of any dental procedure where there is surgical intervention or trauma to the soft tissue in the oral cavity. Correct placement of sutures can help in proper and speedier healing of the tissues. It is very important that the best suturing technique and suture material are used.
The participants will be provided with basic student suturing packs and give the opportunity to practice different types of suturing under supervision.
