Perio Wound Healing Flashcards
Epithelium is replaced how often?
4-7 days.
Is tissue regeneration or repair more likely?
Repair
Formation of new cementum, PDL fibers, and alveolar bone.
Regeneration
Replacement tissues DO NOT REPLICATE the tissues that were lost.
May have an attachment with a long JE.
NO formation of new cementum, PDL, or alveolar bone.
Repair
As we get attachment loss, we also get loss of these.
Bone and cementum
Clean incision where edges are approximated with sutures.
Primary intention
Occurs on day 1 of primary intention.
- Neutrophils
- Epithelial cells
- Angiogenesis starts
Day 3 of primary intention
- Macrophages
- Endothelial cells
- Collagen fibers present
- Granulation tissue starts
Day 5 of primary intention
- Collagen bridge forms
- Angiogenesis peaks
- Granulation tissue fills the incisional space
Increase in fibroblasts and collagen accumulation in this part of primary intention.
Week 2
Point of Primary intention:
- Intact epithelium.
- Absence of inflammation
- Tissue is still remodeling
1 month
Wound edges are not approximated, causing a large tissue defect.
Secondary intention
Greater inflammatory rxn, more granulation tissue, more fibrin and necrotic debris must be removed.
Secondary intention
Scar formation with contraction (does not occur with the attached gingiva bc it’s so close to the bone).
Secondary intention
Intentional removal of the pocket epithelium.
