I highly support LVTs suturing flaps. One of our LVTs has been suturing for over 10 years and is amazing at it. She and they doctors have taught me and the rest of our LVTs how to suture properly. We very rarely have ever had a problem and have seen no difference since doctors only have been suturing. Dental procedures can last hours and can be very tiring for our doctors and now are even more so. With LVTs being able to suture this frees our Doctor up and allows us to do more procedures in one day. I think everyone needs to give LVTs more credit. We are educated and are good at what we do! Use us to the best of our abilities!!
