      Question, after doing a full arch for an overdenture, (meaning placing 4 implants with cover screw, and primary closure), how long do you wait to remove sutures. I used PTFE. Is it recommended 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 2 weeks? Appreciate the help.

        No official timeline it’s what you’re most comfortable with. I’ve done it at two weeks in the past, but I prefer three weeks as I see more consistent healing over a wide variety of patients so I always do three weeks. Six weeks is a really long time with those sutures in there And overkill in my opinion

          I’d say any of those options except 6 weeks. PTFE stays super clean, I really like suturing with that!
