Brief Summary  
Periodontitis is a multifactorial disease resulting in inflammation and
destruction of the connective tissue attachment of the teeth.
Periodontal pocket formation is usually a sequalae of the disease.
The periodontal flap is one of the most frequently employed
procedures, particularly in deep periodontal pockets. Flap surgery for
periodontal re-attachment, demands close post-operative adaptation
of gingival connective tissue on to the tooth surface .1
This study is an institutional based Interventional Prospective
Randomized Clinical Trial
The patients will be selected as per the inclusion and
exclusion criteria, and randomly allotted by a computerized
automated randomization method into 2 groups, Group A and
Group B, and treated as follow.
Group A: Open flap debridement in which flaps will be
approximated by silk 3-0 suture.
 Group B - Open flap debridement in which flaps will be
approximated by prolene 3-0 suture.
