How long should the suture remain at the bone-grafted site?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I got my wisdom teeth out. They said I had two bone grafts placed on both lower sides. I also got stitches in place. Well, today, I felt one stitch come out. Is it too early? Is it bad? They did not go over bone grafts with me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

If you upload a picture of the wound, I can help you if they have placed a bone graft or not. Your pain seems psychological and has nothing to do with the healing socket. Yes, the suture displacement is too early; four days is the least time we can remove a suture from the oral cavity, and typically suture is removed after ten days. However, suture displacement is not too bad; suture helps heal fast wounds and prevents dry sockets. Kindly remind me after three days if pain and wound coloration are abnormal.

I hope you find it helpful.

Regards.
