A member asked:
Are dentists using fibrin glue to help close and heal the flap that was made in the palate for a connective tissue graft? maybe better than stitching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, fibrin sealant: is a relatively new "glue" for periodontal flap surgery. There are many advantages over the sutures, saves time, better hemostasis and more effective over all. You have chosen the right periodontist.
