Highly trained LVT's should be able to suture gingival flaps.
 
As a technician working on a specialty in dentistry, we learn all aspects of making flaps, Root planing, and extraction techniques. Practicing flap closures on cadavers. So why shouldn't we be able to suture. At least LVT specialist in dentistry should be allowed.
