Evaluation of Sustainability of Mechanical Properties of polypropylene Suture Materials exposed to chlorhexidine mouthwash during post operative Periodontal care

INTRODUCTION: Mechanical properties of suture materials play an important role in clinical outcomes of periodontal surgery, thus any changes in these properties might influence the surgical wound healing. As there are various factors that can alter the physical and mechanical properties of suture materials when present in the oral cavity, sustainability of the properties is of much importance
