perio wound healing Flashcards
definition of WOUND
an injury to living tissue, a forcible interruption of the continuity of any tissue
definition of WOUND HEALING
process involving cascade of cellular and molecular changes that occurred after tissue injury, resulting in either tissue repair or regen
defn of FIRST INTENTION HEALING
primary union of a wound in which the incised tissue edges are held in close approximation until union occurS
characteristics of healing by first intention
1) Wound completely close by approximating wound edges
2) Reduction of healing time by minimising the new tissue formation within wound
3) Reduction of bleeding and post op discomfort
4) Minimum scar formation and tissue loss
5) Suitable for regeneration/ grafting procedures, well repaired lacerations and clean wounds
defn of healing by second intention
wound closure wherein the edges remain separated and the wound heals from the base and sides via formation of granulation tissue
characteristics of healing by second intention
1) Wound is left open and allowed to close on its own
2) Slower healing, more discomfort and scar formation compared to healing by primary intention
3) Suitable mode as wound is kept open for drainage from infection or debri remeoval
4) Seen in extractions and ordinary flap operation
defn of healing by third intention
delayed primary closure or tertiary wound healing
characteristics of healing by third intention
1) Manage heavily infected or contaminated wounds
2) Primary closure is achieved when reduction of inflammation and bacterialcount is observed
defn of REPAIR
healing of a wound by tissue that does not fully restore the architecture or function of the original part, includes reattachment and new attachment
defn of REATTACHMENT
to attach again. The reunion of epithelial and CT with a root surface following separation by incision or physical injury
defn of NEW ATTACHMENT
union of CT or epithelium with a root surface that has been deprived of its original attachment apparatus. This new attachment may be epithelial adhesion
defn of REGENERATION
union of CT or epithelium with a root surface that has been deprived of its original attachment apparatus. This new attachment may be epithelial adhesion
in edentulous spaces, what does regeneration refer to
refers to surgical augmentation of a resorbed ridge
honestly wtf does this mean
what happens after scrd?
- microbial biofilm disruption leads to ____, which halts the ____, resulting in improvement of clinical signs of the disease
reduction of host response cascade*, halting periodontal destruction
in wound healing, cell to cell interactions are orchestrated by what?
growth factors, cytokines, ECM components
which phase is the most important phase in wound healing? why?
hemostasis phase because the clot needs to form to protect what is left behind (otherwise will bleed to death), and is also the start so that granulation tissue can move to the site (cell migration)
what process starts immediately after initial injury and lasts 3-6 hours
blood clot formation
- a fibrin clot that comprises of activated platelets, neutrophils, RBCs embedded in a matrix of fibrin fills the site and initiates recruitment of inflammatory cells
functions of the blood clot
- ensure that primary hemostasis is achieved
- protects denuded (covering stripped) tissues at this first phase
- serves a provisional scaffold for cell migration
- degranulating platelets release pro inflammatory cytokines and growth factors that have inductive and conductive properties
what are some examples of pro inflammatory cytokines and growth factors released by degranulating platelets
TGF-b, PDGF, FGF, EGF
what does PDGF and TGF-b do?
induce chemotactic attraction of neutrophils and activate differentiation of monocytes into mature macrophages after infiltration of the injury
what does EGF and VEGF do
enhance vascular permeability and chemotaxis
what do keratinocytes do
produce IL1 that is involved in chemotaxis of neutrophils
what produces IL1 that is involved in chemotaxis of neutrophils
keratinocytes
