Study Notes
Wound Overview
- Wounds can be classified as open (laceration/puncture) or closed (blunt force trauma).
- Healing restores damaged tissues and normal function.
Healing Mechanisms
- Regeneration: Complete restoration of tissue, no scars, full function return.
- Repair: Involves connective tissue proliferation, some original structure restoration, scar formation, and loss of function.
Phases of Wound Healing
- Hemostasis: Begins immediately after injury, stopping bleeding through vascular constriction and fibrin clot formation.
- Inflammation: Occurs within days, characterized by blood vessel dilation, neutrophil and macrophage action to prevent infection, and signs like edema and heat.
- Proliferation: Lasts weeks, focuses on covering the wound, forming granulation tissue, and restoring blood vessels.
- Remodeling: Takes from 21 days to 2 years, where tissue strengthens and matures, collagen reorganization occurs, achieving up to 80% tensile strength.
Detailed Phases
- Phase 1 - Hemostasis: Involves platelet aggregation and inflammatory cell recruitment to control bleeding.
- Phase 2 - Inflammation: Involves vasodilation, immune cell activity, debris removal, and prevention of infection.
- Phase 3 - Proliferation: Covers wound with a collagen matrix, decreases blood vessels, and initiates re-epithelialization.
- Phase 4 - Remodeling: Collagen III is converted to collagen I, leading to increased tensile strength over time.
Wound Assessment
- Utilizes the TIME clinical decision tool:
- T: Tissue viability
- M: Moisture balance
- I: Infection status
- E: Wound edges assessment
Comparison: Skin vs. Oral Mucosa
- Oral mucosa heals rapidly with minimal scarring and lower inflammatory response.
- Lower levels of TGF-Beta1 in oral epithelium reduce hypertrophic scarring.
Role of Saliva
- Saliva promotes wound re-epithelialization through hydration and a suitable pH.
- Contains antimicrobial components that facilitate healing and fibroblast activity.
Factors Affecting Wound Healing
- Local Factors: Oxygenation, foreign bodies, moisture balance, infection, stress from mechanical forces.
- Systemic Factors: Stress, nutrition, age, smoking, obesity, and immunocompromised states.
Complications in Wound Healing
- Common issues include infections, hypertrophic scars, keloids, hematomas, dehiscence, and necrosis.
Bone Healing and Repair
- Process begins with a blood clot post-extraction, followed by granulation tissue formation.
- Bone remodeling transforms immature bone to lamellar bone over several months.
- Grafting can initiate healing through osteogenesis, osteoconduction, or osteoinduction.
Nerve Healing and Repair
- Neuropraxia: Temporary myelin damage with complete recovery within 12 weeks.
- Axonotmesis: Axonal injury with intact connective tissues, leads to slow regeneration (~1mm/day).
- Neurotmesis: Complete nerve transection requires surgical intervention for recovery.
