Exposed tissue during healing
gingivectomy
Pocket depth, amount of keratinized gingiva and intended position of the flap are essential
pre-treatment considerations

• Elevation past the —— will fully reflect the flap
mucogingival junction
• Coronally positioned
– For
regeneration or root coverage
• Replaced
– For
conservative flaps (minimal recession)
Pretty much removing interior, placing exterior back where it was.
• Apically positioned
– For
pocket elimination or crown lengthening
Same as replaced, but removed from alveolar bone, moved down.

Phases of Postsurgical Healing
- Inflammation
- Fibroblastic granulation
- Matrix formation and remodeling
Formationofbloodclotbetweenmarginsof wound and between flap and tooth or bone
• Clotincludesfibrin,neutrophils,platelets, red cells, cell debris, and capillaries at the edge of the wound
Healing: immediate response
- Neutrophils infiltrate the connective tissue
* Epithelium begins to migrate from the wound margins
Healing: first 24 hours
- Space between the flap and tooth or bone narrows
* Epithelial cells migrate over the border of the flap, contacting the tooth
Healing: 1-3 days
- Epithelialmigrationcontinues
- Neutrophilsarereplacedbymacrophages,which eliminate dead/damaged cells
- Bloodclotisreplacedbygranulationtissue
- Revascularizationbegins
Healing: 3-7 days
- Epithelium attaches to the root
- Blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue derived from gingival connective tissue, bone marrow and/or periodontal ligament
Healing: 1 week
- Collagen fibers are oriented parallel to tooth surface (nonfunctional)
- Union of flap to tooth is weak • Collagen fibers are immature
Healing: 2 weeks
- Inflammatory cells are mostly gone
- Fibroblasts proliferate, synthesize collagen
- Revascularization process regresses
- Gingival crevice is fully epithelialized
- Epithelial attachment is well defined
- Functional arrangement of supracrestal fibers
Healing: 1 month
- Collagenhasremodeledandcross-linked
* Thewoundhasregainedmostofitsoriginal tensile strength
Healing: 2 months
When the bone is exposed by a full thickness flap, superficial bone necrosis occurs after 1 to 3 days
• Osteoclastic resorption follows, peaking at
4 to 6 days.
PDGF: induces
fibroblast and macrophage migration, fibroblast proliferation and macrophage activation
• EGF: induces
epithelial proliferation
• TGF-ß: induces
migration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of fibroblasts
gingival inflammation extends along
collagen fiber bundles
