Mechanical and Gravimetric Response of Surgical Suture Biomaterials to Commercial Mouthrinses During Static In Vitro Exposure

Surgical sutures are temporary load-bearing biomaterials whose performance in the oral cavity may be altered by postoperative mouthrinses. Seven USP 4-0 suture materials were immersed in four commercial mouthrinses for 3, 7, 10, and 14 days in a balanced factorial design (n = 3 p...
