What is Comparison of Four Different Suture Materials in Soft Tissues of Rats about?

**Objectives:** The purpose of this __in vivo__ study was to histopathologically evaluate the inflammatory reaction incited by Vicryl in rats and compare this material with various suture materials that are widely used in the clinic. **Subjects and methods:** Four different suture materials, catgut, silk, polypropylene, and Vicryl were used in soft tissues of 32 Sprague–Dawley rats. Incisions performed were sutured by a standard technique. Eight rats were killed at the first, third, fifth, and seventh days. Histopathological evaluation of the __en bloc__ samples was performed by determining the density of seven cell‐types. A numerical grading from one to three was used. The data were statistically analysed by Kruskal–Wallis one way ANOVA and Dunn's tests. **Results:** Vicryl has produced the mildest tissue reaction among the test materials at all experimental periods (__P__ < 0.05). Total cell number value in Vicryl group was found to be significantly lower than the one in catgut group (__P__ < 0.05). **Conclusion:** Under the conditions of this study, the results demonstrated that Vicryl as a suture material produced the mildest tissue reaction during early healing period.
