Q

EPITHELIALIZATION
* Noted with what injuries?
* Renewal of? occurs within?
* Completion occurs at?
* Free edge of epithelium migrate until?
* Signal is terminated in?
* Occurs over?
* Occurs faster with?
* Epithelium does cross over?

A
  • Noted with abrasions, most superficial
  • Renewal of epithelium occurs within hours after injury
  • Completion occurs at 24 – 48 hours
  • Free edge of epithelium migrate until it contacts the opposite edge=Signal is terminated in CONTACT INHIBITION
  • Occurs over wound bed but under scabbing/superficial blood clot
  • Occurs faster with moisten substrate over wound
  • Epithelium does cross over desiccated surface

Q

VASCULAR PHASE of inflamm phase
damaged vs non damaged vessels?
mediated by?
results?

A
  • Vasoconstriction of disrupted vessels: Coagulation (platelets and fibrin) and Clot formation 5-10 minutes
  • Vasodilation of non-disrupted vessels
  • Increases permeability to site to allow healing factors and cells to reach injury site
  • Mediated by histamine and prostaglandins (E1 and E2) from WBCs
  • Causes EDEMA

Q

CELLULAR PHASE of inflamm phase

A
  • PMN (neutrophils) arrive within 24 hrs of injury
    • Margination: PMNs stick to side of blood vessels
    • Diapedesis: PMNs migrate through vessel walls
    • Degranulation: PMNS releasing lysosomal enzymes to destroy bacteria/foreign materials/necrotic tissue
    • Macrophages continue clearance of debris

Q

FIBROPLASTIC PHASE:
* Superfluous fibrin strands?

`

A
  • Superfluous fibrin strands removed by plasmin
  • Excessive collagen deposited in haphazard manner:
    1. * Increases tensile strength (~ 5-7 days after injury →timing for suture removal)
    1. * 70%-80% tensile strength compared to uninjured tissue

Q

tension and wound healing

effect of this on early suture removal?

A
  • Wounds closed under tension will cause ischemia at margins with eventual opening (dehiscence)
  • If suture removed too early, the wound under tension will reopen and heal with excessive scar formation

  • Edges of wound returned to anatomic position
  • Wound edges directly next to each other
  • Little loss of tissue
  • Minimal scar
  • Closure stabilized and accomplished with
    sutures/staples/adhesives
29
Q

examples for 1 intetnion healing

A
  • Lacerations
  • Well reduced bone fractures
30
Q

SECONDARY INTENTION

A
  • Wound is allowed to granulate in
  • May be packed by surgeon with gauze or drain
  • Granulation results in broad scar
  • Slower healing process
31
Q

examples 2 intention

A
  • Gingivectomy
  • Tooth extraction
  • Poorly reduced fracture
32
Q

TERTIARY INTENTION

A
  • Delayed primary closure
  • Related to contaminated wounds
  • Wound cleaned, debrided and observed
  • Closure attempted after 4-5 days
  • Purposely left open to observe for any signs and
    symptoms of infection or further tissue necrosis
33
Q

how can we cover 3 intention wounds?

A
  • Skin grafting or flaps can be used to cover these type of wounds
34
Q

35
Q

HEALING OF EXTRACTION SOCKETS

A

Most cases healing is by SECONDARY INTENTION

36
Q

healing process Immediately after extraction:

A
  • Remnants of periodontal ligament remain attached to the lamina dura
  • Gingival epithelial margin is separated at the crest
  • Coagulated blood seals socket
37
Q

healing of extraction sockets in the first week
phase?
what begins?
dry sockets?
epithelium action?

A
  • Inflammatory phase: WBCs break down and digest bacteria and debris
  • Fibroplasia begins
  • Fibroblast proliferate forming granulation tissue
  • Neovascularization penetrates clot- Clinical correlation: Localized osteitis, “dry socket,” occurs if this
    phase fails
  • Epithelium begins to migrate down towards first granulation tissue it comes into contact with
38
Q

second week healing of extraction sockets

what increase?
time frame?

A
  • Granulation tissue increase and matures
  • Small socket may close off at 14 days, molars by 3 weeks
39
Q

Third and Fourth week socket healing

closure? deposition of?

A
  • Almost all sockets will have epithelial closure by 21 days
  • Deposition of early bone (osteoid) within the socket
40
Q

healing of sockets 4-6 months

alveoulus? LD? clinical correlation?

A
  • Continued resorption and recontouring of alveolus
  • Total resorption of lamina dura by 1 year
  • Clinical correlation: What is time frame to wait before building a final prosthesis?
41
Q
  • Where do osteogenic cells responsible for bone repair come from?
A
  • Periosteum
  • Endosteum
  • Circulating pluripotential mesenchymal cells
42
Q

bone healing 1 vs secondary intent

A
43
Q

factors important to proper bone healing

A

vascularity and immobility

44
Q

vascularity and bone healing
* If low oxygenation?
* If severe?

A
  • If low oxygenation →cartilage will form instead of bone
  • If severe →fibrous tissue may never calcify →fibrous union
45
Q

IMMOBILITY and bone healing
* ways to do this?
* Mobility prevents?

A
  • Intermaxillary fixation (IMF), bone plates, direct wires
  • Mobility prevents fibrous tissue from ossifying →fibrous union, non-union,
46
Q

NERVE REPAIR considerations for which nn’s?

A
  • OMS considerations with inferior alveolar or lingual nerves
47
Q
  • Prognosis for return of sensory function with nn repair is related to:
A
  • How bad was the damage (severed, crushed, stretched, pinched)
  • Condition of epineurium
  • Amount of separation between nerve ends
48
Q

phases of nn repair

A
  • Degeneration
  • Regeneration
49
Q

nn repair: degeneration
forms?
symptoms?

A

Segmental demyelination
* Myelin sheath dissolved in isolated segments (slows nerve conduction)
* Symptoms: paresthesia, dysesthesia, hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia

** Wallerian Degeneration**
* Axons and myelin sheath of nerve distal to site of interruption undergo disintegration in their entirety
* Axons proximal to the site of interruption undergo some degeneration generally a few Nodes of Ranvier away

50
Q

nn growth/regeneration

A
  • Growth cone (growth of new nerve fibers from proximal nerve stump) starts growing down remnant Schwann cell tube
  • Progresses 1 mm per day
  • Continues until site innervated by the nerve is reached
  • New myelin sheaths may form as axons increase in diameter
51
Q

neuroma

A
  • Abnormal nerve healing →NEUROMA
  • Mass of aimless nerve fibers
  • Painful when disturbed (temperature, pressure, etc…)
52
Q

neuropraxia

57
Q
