Study Notes
Wound Healing Processes
- Secondary intention wound healing involves longer repair and healing time, greater chances of scarring, and increased chance of infections.
- Delayed primary intention wound healing creates more scar tissue.
- Primary intention wound healing occurs when tissue edges are closed by stitches, staples, or steri-strips, resulting in quick and easy wound healing.
Wound Healing Phases
- Debridement phase involves denuding the epithelial layer, potential involvement of nerve endings, and minor bleeding from capillaries.
- Proliferation phase involves the formation of new blood vessels, collagen deposition, and granulation tissue formation.
Wound Characteristics
- Abrasions are caused by friction or scraping forces.
- Wounds with lost tissue or gaping edges are characteristic of delayed primary intention wound healing.
Wound Management
- Gentle pressure is applied to control minor bleeding from capillaries.
- Orofacial region injuries involve specialties like oral surgery, orthodontics, and pediatrics.
- Contusions (bruises) caused by dentoalveolar trauma are managed by applying cold compresses and monitoring for hematoma.
- Superficial external burns are managed by applying topical antibiotics and non-adherent dressings.
- Deep structures like muscle and tendons are sutured with braided sutures.
- Tetanus vaccination status should be considered in soft tissue injuries.
- Surgical intervention is required for contusions (bruises) that involve significant hematoma or nerve damage.
- Debris from a deep laceration is removed using a scrub brush and antibacterial soap.
- Systemic antibiotics are considered in soft tissue injuries with signs of infection or in immunocompromised patients.
- Lacerations in the oral cavity that do not require closure with sutures are managed with antibacterial mouthwash and monitoring.
- Lip lacerations require careful repair to avoid an ugly step on healing.
- Facial skin sutures are removed postoperatively 4-7 days after surgery.
Burns and Injuries
- Full-thickness burns involve the entire dermis and may require skin grafting.
- Nerve injuries usually require surgical nerve repair or grafting.
