Q

during healing by primary intention, what occurs during the first 1-3 days?

A
  • Space between the flap and tooth or bone narrows

* Epithelial cells migrate over the border of the flap, contacting the tooth

Q

what happens during the 3-7 days after surgery during PRIMARY healing?

A
  • Epithelial migration continues
  • Neutrophils replaced by macrophages
  • Blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue
  • Re-vascularization begins

Q

what are the characteristics of a wound TWO WEEKS after healing by primary intention?

A

Q

after bone exposure, ________ resorption follows superficial necrosis, peaking at 4 to 6 days

A

Osteoclastic

17
Q

Typically, how much bone is lost when exposed to the oral environment?

A

1 mm

18
Q

what should be done to ensure the best outcomes of surgical therapy?

(theres 4 things)

A

1) Minimize trauma to tissue
2) Minimize wound desiccation (irrigate with saline, minimize length of procedure)
3) Suture meticulously
4) Address systemic health issues

19
Q

how does healing by SECONDARY intention differ from healing by primary intention?

(3 key differences)

A
  • A more vigorous inflammatory response
  • Formation of a larger volume of granulation tissue to fill the defect
  • More pronounced wound contraction during healing
20
Q

during wound healing, the ____________ is a major initial source of growth factors and cytokines

A

the blood clot

21
Q

what 3 growth factors are released from a blood clot?

A

1) PDGF
2) EGF
3) TGF-beta

22
Q

what is the effect of PDGF on wound healing?

A

induces:
1) fibroblast and macrophage migration

2) fibroblast proliferation
3) macrophage activation

23
Q

the growth factor _______ induces epithelial proliferation

A

EGF

24
Q

what does growth factor TGF-beta induce?

A

induces:
A) migration of inflammatory cells

AND

B) proliferation of fibroblasts

25
Q

what factors are released by fibroblasts and macrophages?

A

1) TNF

2) IL-1B

26
Q

what are the effects of TNF? what about IL-1B?

A
  • TNF: activates endothelium, induces neutrophil migration

* IL-1ß: activates endothelium, induces neutrophil migration

27
Q

what are the requirements for the best outcome of healing by secondary intention?

A
  • Minimize trauma
  • Preserve blood clot
  • Minimize bacterial colonization of site
  • Address systemic health issues
  • Be aware that smoking impairs healing
28
Q

what is the definition of tissue repair?

A

damaged tissues are replaced by tissues that don’t duplicate the function or architecture or the original tissues

29
Q

what is the definition of tissue regeneration?

A

damaged tissues are replaced by tissues that duplicate the structure and function of the original tissues.
