Intro to minor oral surgery Flashcards
How can tissues get damaged physically
- Compromised blood flow
- Crushing
- Desiccation
- Incision
- Irradiation
- Overcooling
- Overheating
How can tissues get damaged chemically
- Agents with unphysiologic pH
- Agents with unphysiological tonicity
- Proteases
- Vasoconstrictors
- Thrombogenic agents
Talk through the 4 stages of acute would healing
- Haemostasis
- Inflammatory phase
- Proliferative phase
- Remodelling
What happens 1 week post extraction
- What blood cells remove bacteria
- Breakdown of debris
- Fibroplsia begins
- Ingrowth of fibroblasts and capillaries
- Epithelium migrates down socket wall
- osteoclasts accumulate long crestal bone
What happens 2 weeks post extraction
- Granulation tissue fills the socket
- Osteoid deposition along alveolar bone lining socket
- Smaller socket forms
What happens 3-4 weeks post extraction
- Cortical bone resorbs from the crest and walls
- New trabecular bone is laid down
- Epithelium moves to crest
Name the 2 basic methods of healing
Primary and secondary intension
What is primary intention
edges of wound places and stabilised in same anatomical position prior to injury and allowed to heal
What is secondary intention
Implies a gap is left between edges of incision/ laceration
tissue loss has occurred around the wound ages
Significant amount of epithelial migration
slower healing that forms a scar
List the different types of bone cells
- Osteogenic cells
- Osteoblast
- Osteocyte
- Osteoclast
What are osteogenic cells
Stem cells
What are osteoblast
They are bone healing cells that form the bone matrix
What are osteocytes
They maintain bone tissue
What are osteoclasts
They resorb bone
Patients on which medication may have complex healing
Bisphosphonates
Name the 2 components that make up the inflammatory phase
- Cellular phase
- Vascular phase
What triggers the cellular phase
Triggered by activation of serum compliment via tissue trauma
What happens in the vascular phase of inflammation
Initially vasoconstriction occurs of the distributed vessels
This slows the blood flow into the injured area and promotes co angulation
What is the outcome of the cellular phase of inflammation
Neutrophil activation
List the characteristics inflammation
- Redness
- Swelling
- Heat
- Pain
What is released in the vascular phase of inflammation
- Histamines
- Prostogladins
- White blood cells
How Long does the inflammatory phase last
2-5 days
What follows the inflammatory phase
Proliferative phase
When does the proliferative phase begin
2-3 weeks
What happens in the proliferative paste of wound healing
- Fibrin strands form structure for fibroblasts to lay ground substance tropocollagen
- Capillary formation
- Collagen formation
Which phase follows the proliferative phase
Re modelling
How long does the remodelling phase last
Continues indefinitely
