Wound strength never reaches above
80% - 85% of uninjured tissue * Peak tensile strength at 60 days
26
REMODELING PHASE: 3 WEEKS TO 1 YEAR/INDEFINITE * Wound erythema decreases as * Wound contraction occurs by
vascularity decreases to site migration of wound edges toward each other
27
FACTORS THAT IMPAIR WOUND HEALING * Foreign material (4)
- 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
28
FACTORS THAT IMPAIR WOUND HEALING Necrotic tissue
* 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
29
FACTORS THAT IMPAIR WOUND HEALING * Ischemia (2)
* Decreased blood supply, resulting in poor oxygen delivery to needed site * Increases wound infection by halting delivery of PMNs, WBCs, antibodies, ABX
30
* Ischemia * Results from: (4)
* Poorly designed flaps * Tight sutures * Internal pressure from edema/hematoma * Hypotension during surgery
31
FACTORS THAT IMPAIR WOUND HEALING * Tension (2)
* 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
32
HYPERTROPHY (5)
* Overgrowth of tissue within border of wound edges * Any race * Common in pediatrics * Regresses with time * Common on flexor surfaces
33
KELOID (5)
* Overgrowth beyond border of wound edges * Common in darker skin/hereditary * Rare in pediatrics * Grows for years * Common on upper body, head/neck
34
KELOID/HYPERTROPHY TREATMENT * Similar strategy for both findings * --- significantly more difficult to eradicate * Triple therapy:
Keloid * Surgical excision * Corticosteroid injection * 40 mg/cc injection intralesional * 2-3 times per month for 6 months * Silicone pressure dressing * Worn 12-24 hours per day * For 2-3 months
35
WOUND HEALING (3)
* Primary intention * Secondary intention * Tertiary intention * Delayed primary healing
36
PRIMARY INTENTION (5)
* 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
37
PRIMARY INTENTION ex (2)
* Lacerations * Well reduced bone fractures
38
SECONDARY INTENTION (4)
* Wound is allowed to granulate in * May be packed by surgeon with gauze or drain * Granulation results in broad scar * Slower healing process
39
SECONDARY INTENTION ex (3)
* Gingivectomy * Tooth extraction * Poorly reduced fracture
40
TERTIARY INTENTION
* 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 * Skin grafting or flaps can be used to cover these type of wounds
41
Primary intention Epithelial migration Amount of collagen Contracture Speed of healing Remodeling necessary Loss of function
none minimal minimal rapid little little
42
Secondary intention Epithelial migration Amount of collagen Contracture Speed of healing Remodeling necessary Loss of function
considerable large considerable delayed considerable potentially great
43
HEALING OF EXTRACTION SOCKETS * Most cases healing is by
SECONDARY INTENTION
44
Immediately after extraction: (3)
* Remnants of periodontal ligament remain attached to the lamina dura * Gingival epithelial margin is separated at the crest * Coagulated blood seals socket
45
HEALING OF EXTRACTION SOCKETS * First week (2)
* Inflammatory phase * Fibroplasia begins
46
* Inflammatory phase
* WBCs break down and digest bacteria and debris
47
* Fibroplasia begins (4)
* 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
48
HEALING OF EXTRACTION SOCKETS * Second week (2)
* Granulation tissue increase and matures * Small socket may close off at 14 days, molars by 3 weeks
49
* Third and Fourth week (2)
* Almost all sockets will have epithelial closure by 21 days * Deposition of early bone (osteoid) within the socket
50
HEALING OF EXTRACTION SOCKETS * Four to six months (3)
* 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?
51
BONE HEALING * Where do osteogenic cells responsible for bone repair come from? (3)
* Periosteum * Endosteum * Circulating pluripotential mesenchymal cells
52
Primary Intent Bone separation Fibrous matrix Callus Speed of re-ossification
< 1 mm Little between or subperiosteal Little Fast
53
Secondary Intent Bone separation Fibrous matrix Callus Speed of re-ossification
> 1 mm Large amounts extending past bone ends Large Longer with replacement process
54
BONE HEALING * Factors most important to proper bone healing (2)
* VASCULARITY * IMMOBILITY
55
* VASCULARITY * If low oxygenation → * If severe →
cartilage will form instead of bone fibrous tissue may never calcify →fibrous union
56
* IMMOBILITY (2)
* Intermaxillary fixation (IMF), bone plates, direct wires * Mobility prevents fibrous tissue from ossifying →fibrous union, non-union,
57
NERVE REPAIR * OMS considerations with (2) nerves
inferior alveolar or lingual
58
Prognosis for return of sensory function is related to: (3)
* How bad was the damage (severed, crushed, stretched, pinched) * Condition of epineurium * Amount of separation between nerve ends
59
NERVE REPAIR * Two phases: (2)
* Degeneration * Regeneration
60
Degeneration (2)
* Segmental demyelination * Wallerian Degeneration
61
* Segmental demyelination (2)
* Myelin sheath dissolved in isolated segments (slows nerve conduction) * Symptoms: paresthesia, dysesthesia, hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia
62
* Wallerian Degeneration (2)
* 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
63
Regeneration (4)
* 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
64
Abnormal nerve healing →
NEUROMA * Mass of aimless nerve fibers * Painful when disturbed (temperature, pressure, etc...)
65
Paresthesia
* Spontaneous and subjective altered sensation that IS NOT PAINFUL/UNCOMFORTABLE
66
Dysesthesia
* Spontaneous and subjective altered sensation that IS PAINFUL/UNCOMFORTABLE
67
* Hyperesthesia
* Excessive sensitivity of a nerve to stimulation
68
* Hypoesthesia
* Decreased sensitivity of a nerve to stimulation
69
* Anesthesia
* No sensation when stimulated
