    Objective: Suture is often used to close wounds following dental extractions, biopsies or other oral surgical procedures. Suture that is rapidly absorbed is generally preferred to avoid the need for removal. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of secondary metabolites mainly present in foods on the properties of the suture materials (PGA and Vicryl) used in the oral cavity. Material and method: Myricetin extract is prepared using guava leaves and nicotine was collected from tobacco by means of ethanolic extract and mixed together. Both the extracts were kept in two test tubes separately for analysing its influence on PGA and Vicryl which is used as sample sutures for this study. Results: The antioxidant activity clearly indicates that the combined effect drastically decreases and the anti-inflammatory activity of myricetin nicotine combination the same as myricetin. Re..
