Suture tools
They are essential instruments used in dentistry (and other medical fields) for suturing or stitching tissues after surgical procedures. In dental surgeries, sutures help close wounds or incisions made during tooth extractions, gum surgeries, bone grafts, implants, and other procedures. Here’s a detailed overview of the key suture tools used in dental practices:
1. Needle Holders (Needle Drivers)
These are used to hold and control the needle when suturing tissue.
Needle Holders: These specialized clamps are used to firmly grip the suture needle while the dentist or surgeon sutures the tissue. They provide a stable grip to ensure accurate needle placement.
Types:
Mayo-Hegar Needle Holder: One of the most commonly used holders in dental surgeries.
Crile-Wood Needle Holder: Smaller and ideal for fine suturing.
De-Bakey Needle Holder: Known for its fine, a traumatic grip, perfect for delicate suturing.
2. Suture Needles
These are curved or straight needles designed to carry suture material through tissues.
Curved Needles: Most commonly used in dental procedures, especially for suturing tissue in hard-to-reach areas.
3/8 Circle Needle: Often used in dental surgeries because it provides the right angle and flexibility.
1/2 Circle Needle: Common in deeper or more challenging suturing areas.
Straight Needles: Less common in dental procedures but may be used in specific cases.
3. Suture Scissors
These scissors are used to cut suture material once the suturing is complete.
Mayo Scissors: Heavy scissors used for cutting thick suture material.
Iris Scissors: Smaller scissors used for more precise cutting of fine suture material or delicate tissue.
Suture Scissors with a Curved Tip: These scissors are specially designed to make it easier to cut the sutures without disturbing the tissue.

4. Tissue Forceps
Tissue forceps are used to hold and manipulate soft tissue during suturing procedures.
Adson Forceps: Fine, delicate forceps that are commonly used for grasping tissues without causing damage.
De-Bakey Forceps: A more a traumatic forcep ideal for holding delicate tissue while suturing.
5. Suture Kits
A dental suture kit contains all the essential tools needed for suturing during surgery. A typical dental suture kit includes:
Needle holder or driver
Scissors
Tissue forceps
Suture material (various types depending on the procedure)
6. Suture Material
While not a “tool,” suture material is a critical part of the suturing process.
Absorbable Sutures: These dissolve in the body over time and don’t require removal (e.g., vicryl, chromic gut).
Non-Absorbable Sutures: These must be removed after a period of time (e.g., nylon, polypropylene).
