Q

What causes inflammation in wounds?

A

Damaged endothelial cells release cytokines to increase integrand expression in circulating lymphocytes

18
Q

First 24-48h after extraction:

A

Clot organisation
Engorgement and dilation of BV in PDL remnants
Leukocytic migration
Formation of fibrin layer

V impt as if blood clot disintegrates healing may be greatly delayed and may be extremely painful

19
Q

First week after extraction:

A

Clot forms temporary scaffold for inflammatory cell migration

Epithelium at periphery grows over surface of clot

Inflammatory stage - WBCs enter socket to remove bacteria and debris like bone fragments

Fibroplasia - ingrowth of fibroblasts and capillaries

Epithelial migration down socket wall until it contacts epithelium from the other side of the socket or encounters the bed of granulation tissues under the clot, over which it can migrate

Osteoclasts accumulate along crestal bone

20
Q

Second week after extraction:

A

Large amount of granulation tissue fills socket

Osteoid deposition along alveolar bone lining socket, in smaller sockets epithelium may already be fully intact

Trabeculae of osteoid extends into clot from alveolus, and osteoclastic resorption of cortical margin of alveolar socket is more distinct

These processes continue into week 3 and 4, along with completion of epithelialization of most sockets

21
Q

Third week after extraction

A

Filled with granulation tissue with poorly calcified bone at wound perimeter

Surface completely reepithelialized with minimal or no scar formation

Active bone remodeling by deposition and resorption continues for several more weeks

22
Q

Histological phases of the healing continuum

A

Inflammatory
Proliferative
Remodeling

23
Q

Inflammatory phase of the healing continuum

A

Initial transient vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation

Initiation: tissue trauma and bleeding activates factor XII (Hageman factor) initiating healing cascade effectors such as complements, plasminogen, kinins and clotting systems

Aggregation of circulating platelets at injury sites, adhering together and the exposed vascular subendothelial collagen to form a primary platelet plug within a fibrin matrix, achieving hemostasis

Clot serves as a reservoir of cytokines and growth factors that are released as activated platelets degranulate (interleukins, TGF-8, PDGF, VEGF) to regulate subsequent healing

Adjacent epithelium begins to migrate

Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells begin to transform into fibroblasts

24
Q

Proliferative phase of the healing continuum

A

Cytokines and growth factors of inflammatory phase stimulate proliferative phase

Starts as early as 2nd day and lasts up to 3 weeks

Formation of pink granulation tissue, with establishment of local microcirculation to supply oxygen and nutrients for elevated metabolic needs of regenerating tissues

Epithelial thickness increases, collagen fibers haphazardly laid down by fibroblasts, building capillaries establish contact with their counterparts from other sites in wound

25
Q

Remodeling phase of the healing continuum

A

Proliferative phase is progressively replaced by a phase of progressive remodeling and strengthening (balance between matrix degradation and formation) of the immature scar tissue

Can last for several years

As metabolic demands decrease, capillary network regresses, vascular integrity is reestablished

Fibroblasts start to disappear and type III collagen is replaced by stronger and more organized type I collagen

Epithelial stratification is restored

26
Q

Local factors affecting healing

A

Wound sepsis
Location (poor blood flow, tension)
Foreign bodies
Previous irradiation
Poor technique
Immobilization (formation of connective tissue is not hindered?)

27
Q

Systemic factors affecting healing

A

Nutritional deficiencies (proteins, vitamins A, C, D)
Systemic disease
Therapeutic agents
Age

28
Q

Complications of extraction wounds

A

Localized alveolar osteitis

Delay

Slower rate of apposition of regenerate bone to remaining alveolar bone due to absence of healthy granulation tissue matrix

If infected, remains open or is partially covered by hyperplastic epithelium for extended periods

Fibrous healing

29
Q

What is dry socket?

A

Inflammation involving either whole or part of condensed bone (lamina dura) lining the tooth socket

Empty socket, which may have evidence of broken down blood clot and food debris inside

Intense odor

Painful socket arising 24-72h after extraction, may last 7-10 days

About 3% of extractions

30
Q

Predisposing factors in dry socket

A

Infection
Trauma
Blood supply
Site
Smoking
Sex
Systemic factors like oral contraceptives

31
Q

Fibrous healing of extraction wound complication

A

Uncommon

Usually following difficult, complicated or surgical extractions, when accompanied by loss of both lingual and labial/buccal plates along with periosteum

Radiographically see well circumscribed radiolucent area in site of extraction site

Treat by excising the lesion

32
Q

Sequelae of cortical bone / lamina dura

A

After removal, remaining empty socket consists of cortical bone covered by torn PDL with a rim of oral epithelium (gingiva) at the coronal portion

Cortical bone is resorbed from the crest and walls of the socket as new trabecular bone is laid down across the socket. Radiographically evident after 6-8 weeks.

4-6 months after, cortical bone is fully resorbed, loss of distinct lamina dura radiographically. Normal bone fills the socket and epithelium moves towards the crest and becomes level with adjacent gingiva

33
Q

What are the types of healing in bone grafts

A

Osteogenic: viable osteoblasts/cytes in graft, direct healing and formation of new bone and BV

Osteoconductive: inorganic bone material conducts a path for osteoclasts to resorb HAP crystals and osteoblasts from host to form new osteons

Osteoinductive: organic bone material induces formation of new osteoblasts from osteoprogenitor cells (BMP)

34
Q

What are the types of bone grafts

A

Autogenous (live bone, osteogenic)
Allogenous (human)
Xenogenous (bovine)
Alloplastic (beta tricalcium phosphate)

35
Q

Bone healing in fracture stages

A

Immediate: acute inflammation, migration of vessels and osteogenic cells, fibrovascular invasion and hematoma organization

Callus formation: osteogenic cells from periosteum proliferate, forming a thin rim of bone to bridge the gap between fragments. Fusiform swells, hyaline cartilage forms beneath the rim of bone. Eventually replaced by woven bone via endochondral ossification

Remodeling of woven bone until compact lamellar bone forms.

If movement occurs only fibrous tissue bridges the gap, causing exuberant callus formation to stabilize the fragments.
If there is a large gap between fragments, persistent movement, avascular necrosis or interposed soft tissue, there may be non-union (persistent fracture gap, fibrous/fibrocartilaginous bridging and pseudoarthrosis)

36
Q

Primary bone healing

A

When fragments are stable and well aligned. Compression leads to better adaptation, frictional stability, direct cortical bone-bone contact and osteoinduction

Depends on fracture gap size and stability

Cancellous bone healing
- If bony trabeculae aligns anatomically, capillaries proliferate, traversing the gap and reconstituting the torn medullary network
- Local osteogenic cells cross fracture site to form new trabeculae, which thickens with woven bone to create clinical union with little fibrosis and no cartilage precursors after 4 weeks

Cortical/contact healing
- If bone is in direct cortical contact, osteoclasts widen haversian canals on either side, oriented longitudinally towards site
- Capillary ingrowth
- Osteoblasts lining tunnels lay down osteoid which matures directly into lamellar bone
- Wider gaps bridged by woven bone
- Cortical bridging occurs by 8 weeks, finishing by 16 weeks, with clinical union by 6-8 weeks due to cancellous healing

37
Q

Nerve injury types

A

Neurapraxia
Axonotmesis
Neurotmesis

38
Q

Neurapraxia

A

Reversible physiological nerve conduction block, some loss of sensation and muscle power for a few days/weeks

Due to mechanical pressure causing demyelination

39
Q

Neurotmesis

A

Division of nerve trunk

If injury is more severe, where nerve is no longer in continuity, recovery will not occur

40
Q

Classes of nerve injuries

A

First degree injury - transient, reversible ischemia and neurapraxia

Second degree injury - axonotmesis, with axonal degeneration, but as endoneurium is preserved, regeneration without need for intervention can result in complete or near complete recovery

Third degree injury - Endoneurium disrupted but perineural sheaths intact and internal damage is limited. Fibrosis and crossed connections limit recovery.

41
Q

Wallerian degeneration

A

Distal axon regeneration following sectioning or severe injury with myelin degradation, occurring within 7-10 days of injury

This portion of nerve is inexcitable

42
Q

Axon degeneration

A

Distal degenerated nerve is inexcitable

Regeneration can occur as basement membrane of Schwann cell survives

43
Q

Demyelination

A
