post-surgical wound healing Flashcards
what are the 3 phases of post-surgical wound healing?
1) Inflammation
2) Fibroblastic granulation
3) Matrix formation and remodeling
what is the immediate response during healing by primary intention?
- Formation of blood clot between margins of wound and between flap and tooth or bone
the immediate clot of primary healing is composed of what?
Clot includes:
fibrin,neutrophils,platelets, red cells, cell debris, and capillaries at the edge of the wound
during healing by primary intention, what occurs within the first 24 hours?
- Neutrophils infiltrate the connective tissue
* Epithelium begins to migrate from the wound margins
during healing by primary intention, what occurs during the first 1-3 days?
- Space between the flap and tooth or bone narrows
* Epithelial cells migrate over the border of the flap, contacting the tooth
what happens during the 3-7 days after surgery during PRIMARY healing?
- Epithelial migration continues
- Neutrophils replaced by macrophages
- Blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue
- Re-vascularization begins
during healing by PRIMARY intention, the site of surgery will show the following characteristics after ONE WEEK:
- Epithelium attaches to the root
* Blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue
the granulation tissue that replaces a blood clot during PRIMARY healing is derived from what 3 sources?
derived from:
- gingival connective tissue
- bone marrow
- periodontal ligament
what are the characteristics of a wound TWO WEEKS after healing by primary intention?
- Collagen fibers are oriented parallel to tooth surface (nonfunctional)
- Union of flap to tooth is weak
- Collagen fibers are immature
during healing by primary intention, Inflammatory cells are mostly gone after what amount of time?
1 month
what changes occur after 1 month of primary healing?
- Fibroblasts proliferate, synthesize collagen
- Revascularization process regresses
- Epithelial attachment is well defined
During primary healing, the _________ will be FULLY epithelialized after ONE MONTH
gingival crevice
around the 1 month mark, there will be a Functional arrangement of ________ fibers (in healing by primary intention)
supracrestal
at what time, following surgery, will a wound healing from primary intention regain most of its original tensile strength?
2 months
When the bone is exposed by a full thickness flap, superficial bone necrosis occurs after _________ days
1 to 3 days
