wound repair Flashcards
WOUNDS IN THE WORLD
- Anytime you perform SURGERY you create a WOUND
- Leaves underlying tissue vulnerable to infection
- Wound healing remains problematic →why and what can we do to lessen this?
CAUSES OF INJURY
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?
- 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
OROANTRAL COMMUNICATIONS
fistula may form as a result of extraction if sinus floor exposed/down to oral cavity
PHASES OF WOUND HEALING
time frames of each
- Inflammatory phase: Day 1-6
- Fibroplastic phase: Days 4- 3 weeks
- Maturation/remodeling phase: 3 weeks – 1 year
INFLAMMATORY PHASE:
days?
* Also called?
* increase in wound strength? due to?
* principle material holding wound together?
* tensile strength?
* phases?
DAYS 1- 5ISH
* Also called LAG PHASE:
* No increase in wound strength, Due to little collagen deposition
* FIBRIN principle material holding wound together
* Has little tensile strength
* 2 phases of the Inflammatory Phase: Vascular
and Cellular
VASCULAR PHASE of inflamm phase
damaged vs non damaged vessels?
mediated by?
results?
- 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
CELLULAR PHASE of inflamm phase
- 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
FIBROPLASTIC PHASE:
time frame?
* dominant cell?
* cell function
* content? →purpose?
* Secretes? functions?
DAY 4 – 3 WEEKS
* Fibroblasts are the dominant cell
* Deposits ground substance and TROPOCOLLAGEN over fibrin lattice
* Ground substance contains mucopolysaccharides →cement collagen fibers together
- Secretes FIBRONECTIN:
1. * Stabilize fibrin
1. * Assists in recognizing foreign material
1. * Chemotactic factor to aid recruitment of fibroblasts and macrophages
FIBROPLASTIC PHASE
* vascular event? why? causes?
- Angiogenesis occurs:
- Increase vascularity (from wound edges inward)
- Causes raised and red color of wound
FIBROPLASTIC PHASE:
* Superfluous fibrin strands?
* collagen deposotion? result
`
- 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
REMODELING PHASE:
time frame? collagen? wound strength?
3 WEEKS TO 1 YEAR/INDEFINITE
* Increase in collagen ORGANIZATION AND STRENGTH
* Collagen oriented in direction to better resist tension
* Type III collagen replaced by Type I
* Excess collagen removed →scar softens
* Wound strength never reaches above 80% - 85% of uninjured tissue (NEVER ABOVE 90)
* Peak tensile strength at 60 days
REMODELING PHASE:
wound eryhtema changes and wound contraction
- Wound erythema decreases as vascularity decreases to site
- Wound contraction occurs by migration of wound edges toward each other
why keep PDL in socket with extraction?
will attract fibroblasts, decrease odds for infection
ant man flaps?
no, mental nn present
implant compressing nn, what to do?
remove implant
does neurotemesis recover?
no
factors impairing wound healing
any foreign material
necrotic tissue
ischemia
tension
foreign material and healing
- Dirt, wood, glass, suture, bacteria
- “Non-self” material causes chronic inflammation —Decreases fibroplasia
- Bacteria proliferation causing infection
- Destroys host tissue with bacteria byproducts
- Non-bacteria causes a harbor for bacteria
necrotic tissue and wound healing
* classic example?
* Barrier to?
* Serves as a?
* Hematoma?
- Free bony fragment in extraction site is classic example
- Barrier to ingrowth of reparative cells
- Serves as a protected niche for bacteria
- Hematoma formation:
- Nidus for bacteria, as well as food source for bacteria
- Blood clot is small and functional, hematoma is large and of no use
ischemia and wound healing
results of this
- Decreased blood supply, resulting in poor oxygen delivery to needed site
- Increases wound infection by halting delivery of PMNs, WBCs, antibodies, ABX
causes of wound ischemia
- Poorly designed flaps
- Tight sutures
- Internal pressure from edema/hematoma
- Hypotension during surgery
tension and wound healing
effect of this on early suture removal?
- 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
