Fibrin sealants in implant and periodontal treatment: case presentations

William Becker. Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2005 Aug.

Abstract

Sutures are traditionally used to close flaps associated with periodontal and implant procedures. When implants are placed in the esthetic zone or when periodontal plastic surgical procedures are performed, fibrin sealants may be a viable alternative to closing flaps with sutures. This article describes the history of using fibrin sealants in medicine and dentistry and discusses their uses. Patients treated with sealants are presented.
