Abstract

Bilateral vertical incisions were made in the maxillary and mandibular labial mucosa of eight young green vervet monkeys. Incisions were closed with either interrupted 4-0 black silk sutures or by the application of isobutyl cyanoacrylate. Mucosal specimens containing the incisions were examined histologically and scored for degree of inflammation at 1, 3, 10, and 20 weeks. The results showed that cyanoacrylate and sutures did not produce similar inflammatory responses.
