Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Wound healing will be assessed using the Early Wound Healing Index (EHS) on the 3rd and 7th postoperative days. Higher scores will indicate better healing outcomes.Timepoint: 3rd and 7th postoperative days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Microbial analysis of Staphylococcus aureus and Porphyromonas gingivalis will be conducted on the sutures removed on the 7th postoperative day to evaluate the bacterial load and compare microbial colonization between conventional and Abelmoschus esculentus gel-coated sutures.Timepoint: 7th day
