The document provides information on wound healing and healing processes in the oral cavity. It discusses:
- The classification of wounds as tidy (healing by primary intention) or untidy (healing by secondary intention).
- The stages of healing by primary intention (initial hemorrhage, inflammation, epithelial changes, organization) and secondary intention (granulation tissue formation, wound contraction).
- Factors that can affect wound healing like infection, nutrition, medication.
- Healing of specific oral wounds like extraction wounds and periodontal wounds, which heal faster due to saliva and oral bacteria.
- The difference between wound repair, regeneration and new attachment in periodontal healing.

Toes inflamed by chilblains
Inflammation (from Latin inflammatio) is part of the
complex biological response of body tissues to harmful
stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants,[1]
and is a protective response involving immune cells,
blood vessels, and molecular mediators. The function of
inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury,
clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from
the original insult and the inflammatory process, and to
initiate tissue repair.
The classical signs of inflammation are heat, pain, redness,
swelling, and loss of function. Inflammation is a
generic response, and therefore it is considered as a mechanism
of innate immunity, as compared to adaptive immunity,
which is specific for each pathogen.[2] Too little
inflammation could lead to progressive tissue destruction
by the harmful stimulus (e.g. bacteria) and compromise
the survival of the organism. In contrast, chronic
inflammation may lead to a host of diseases, such as hay
fever, periodontitis, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis,
and even cancer (e.g., gallbladder carcinoma). Inflammation
is therefore normally closely regulated by the body.
Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic.
Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to
harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement
of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes)
from the blood into the injured tissues. A series of biochemical
events propagates and matures the inflammatory
response, involving the local vascular system, the
immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue.
Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation,
leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells
present at the site of inflammation, such as mononuclear
cells, and is characterized by simultaneous destruction
and healing of the tissue from the inflammatory process.
Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Infection
describes the interaction between the action of microbial
invasion and the reaction of the body’s inflammatory response
— the two components are considered together
when discussing an infection, and the word is used to imply
a microbial invasive cause for the observed inflammatory
reaction. Inflammation on the other hand describes
purely the body’s immunovascular response, whatever the
cause may be. But because of how often the two are
correlated, words ending in the suffix -itis (which refers
to inflammation) are sometimes informally described as
referring to infection. For example, the word urethritis
strictly means only “urethral inflammation”, but clinical
health care providers usually

The variety of wounds present challenges to the physician to select the most appropriate management to facilitate healing.
A complete wound history along with knowledge of the healing potential of the wound, as it relates to the specific medical and environmental considerations for each patient, provides the basis of decision making for wound management.
It is essential to consider each wound individually in order to create the optimal conditions for wound healing.
Understanding of wound healing is as important as knowing the pathogenesis of disease, because satisfactory wound healing is the ultimate goal of treatment.
If we are able to understand the mechanism of wound healing, we can design treatment approaches that maximize favorable conditions for wound healing to occur.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. INTRODUCTION
Wound is a break in the integrity of skin or tissue
often, which may be associated with disruption of the
structure and function.
Wound is an injury to the body that is usually
associated with cell death and tissue destruction.
Common causes are violence, accident or surgery that
typically involves laceration or breaking of a
membrane(skin).
Healing on the other hand is a cell response to injury
in an attempt to restore the normal structure and
function .
3
4. Classification of wound
1.a)TIDY- Incised, caused by sharp object, no tissue loss, heal
by primary intention.
b)UNTIDY-Crushed, teared, devitalised,burn,tissue loss, heal
by secondary intention.
2.CLOSED WOUND
-Contusion or bruising
-Abrasion
-Haematoma
OPEN WOUND
-Incised
-Lacerated
-Penetrating
-Crushed4
6. Wound healing
Wound healing is a mechanism where the body
attempts-
To restore the integrity and function of injured part
To reform barrier to fluid loss and infection
Limit further entry of foreign organism and material
Re-establish normal blood and lymphatic patterns
6
7. Classification of wound healing
1. Healing by first/primary intention
Is defined as a wound which has the following
characters
Clean and uninfected
Surgically incised
Without much loss of cells and tissues
Edges of the wound are approximated by the
surgical sutures
7
8. Sequence of events involved in healing by primary
intention:
INITIAL HAEMORRHAGE
ACUTE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
EPITHELIAL CHANGES
ORGANIZATION
8
9. INITIAL HAEMORRHAGE
Immediately after injury, the space between the
opposing surfaces of the skin becomes filled with
blood , due to hemorrhage of the injured vessels .
Clot forms, which seals the incision against
dehydration and infection .
9
10. ACUTE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE :
Occurs within 24 hours .
Margins are infiltrated by neutrophils, monocytes
and swollen by fluid exudate.
Autolytic enzymes liberated by dead tissue cells .
Proteolytic enzymes by the neutrophils .
Phagocytic activity by monocytes and tissue
macrophages which appear by 3rd day clear away
necrotic tissue debris and RBCs .
10
11. EPITHELIAL CHANGES :
Basal cells of the epidermis from both the cut margins
start proliferating and migrating towards incisional
space in the form of epithelial spurs
Well approximated wound gets covered by a layer of
epithelium within 48 hours.
Migrated epidermal cells separate the underlying viable
dermis.
By 5th day multilayer epidermis is formed which
differentiates in to superficial and deeper layers.
11
12. ORGANIZATION :
By the 3rd day : capillary buds
fibroblasts
New collagen by the 5th day-dominates till healing is
complete.
4th week Scar tissue with scanty cellular and vascular
elements , few inflammatory cells and epithelialised
surface is formed.
12
14. Healing by secondary intention
When wound is open with a large tissue defect, at
times infected.
Extensive loss of cells and tissues
Wound is not approximated by sutures, but is left
open
14
15. Secondary union consists of the following events :
Initial hemorrhage
Inflammatory process
Epithelial changes
Granulation tissue formation
Wound contraction
Presence of infection
Similar to that by primary
intension
15
16. Granulation tissue formation :
Proliferating fibroblasts and neovascularization
Newly formed connective tissue: deep red, granular
and very fragile.
With time scar matures : increased collagen
decreased vascularity
16
17. Wound contraction
Not seen in primary healing
Myofibroblasts are the cells responsible for the
contraction of the wound
13rd to 14th its original size
17
18. secondary union of wound
A. The open wound is filled with blood clot and there is inflammatory response at the
junction of viable tissue
B. Epithelial spurs from the margins of wound meet in the middle to cover the gap
and seperate the underlying viable tissue from necrotic tissue at the surface forming
scab
C. After contraction of the wound ,a scar smaller than the original wound is left
18
19. COMPLICATIONS OF WOUND
HEALING
1. Infection
2. Pigmentation – rust like staining
3. Deficient scar formation inadequate
granulation tissue
4. Incisional hernia bulge at the site of surgical
incision.
19
20. 6. Keloid formation scar formed is excessive, ugly &
painful
Excessive formation of collagen – claw like
Common in blacks
7. Hypertrophied scars- confined to borders of initial
wounds ,but rises above the skin level.
8. Excessive contraction
9. Neoplasia eg: squamous cell carcinoma
20
21. FACTORS INFLUENCING
HEALING
Local factors:
1. Infection
2. Poor blood supply
3. Foreign bodies
4. Movement delays wound healing
5. Exposure to ionizing radiation delays granulation
tissue formation
6. Type, size and location of injury
21
22. Systemic factors:
1. Age
2. Nutrition
3. Systemic infection
4. Administration of corticosteroids has anti-inflammatory
effect
5. Uncontrolled diabetes
6. Haematologic abnormalities – defect of neutrophil function
22
23. Healing of oral wounds
Oral wounds heals faster and with less scarring
than extra oral wounds
It is mainly due to :
factors in saliva
specific microflora of the oral cavity
23
24. Factor Mechanism
saliva Moisture ,ionic strength,
Growth factors.
bacteria Stimulation of macrophage influx,
Direct stimulative action on keratinocyte
and fibroblast
24
25. Role of saliva & gingival crevicular fluid in oral
wound healing
Animals instintly lick their wounds which result in
faster wound healing
People with xerostomia show dealyed healing of
oral wounds
Physio-chemical factors favoring healing are
appropriate PH
ionic strength
calcium and magnisium ions
25
26. Lubrication of oral mucosa is beneficial for wound
healing
Advantages of moist environment
prevention of tissue dehydration and cell
death
accelerated angiogenesis
incremental breakdown of fibrin and tissue
debris
Presence of growth factors - growth factors are
produced by salivary glands or derived from plasma
through gingival crevice
Epidermal growth factor
Transforming growth factorβ
Fibroblast growth factor
26
27. ROLE OF BACTERIA IN WOUND HEALING
Oral cavity harbours more than 500 bacterial species
Wound colonized by pathologic bacteria have
delayed wound healing
Inflammatory reaction that is prerequisite for tissue
repair is accentuated by bacterial contamination
Bacteria present in wound will attract macrophages
into the area and induce their cytokine secretion.
27
28. As a consequence blood supply and granulation
tissue formation are accentuated in wound
healing.
Proliferation of mesenchymal cells is increased
and synthesis rate of connective tissue
component is stimulated leading to greater tensile
strength of the contaminated wounds in the
course of healing.
28
29. HEALING OF EXTRACTION WOUND
29
IMMEDIATE REACTION FOLLOWING EXTRACTION
After the extraction, the blood which fills the socket
coagulates, red blood cells being entrapped in the fibrin
meshwork.
The resultant fibrin meshwork containing entrapped red blood
cells seals off the torn blood vessels and reduces the size of
the extraction of wound.
Within the first 24-48 hours after extraction there are
alterations in the vascular bed.
There is vasodilation and engorgement of blood vessels in the
remnants of the periodontal ligament and the mobilization of
leucocytes to the immediate area around the wound.
30. 30
FIRST WEEK WOUND
Within the first week after tooth extraction, proliferation of
fibroblasts from connective tissue cells in the remnants of the
periodontal ligament is evident, and these fibroblasts begun to
grow into the clot around the entire periphery.
This clot forms the scaffold on which the cells associated with
healing process may migrate. It is the temporary structure.
The epithelium at the periphery of the wound grow over the
surface of the organizing clot.
Osteoclasts accumulate along the alveolar bone crest setting
the stage for active crestal resorption.
Angiogenesis proceeds in the remnants of the periodontal
ligaments
31. 31
SECOND WEEK WOUND
During the second week, the blood clot continues to
get organized through fibroplasia and new blood
vessels that penetrate towards the center of the clot.
Trabeculae of the osteoid slowly extend into the clot
from the alveolus, and osteoclastic resorption of the
cortical margin of the alveolar socket is more distinct.
The remnants of the periodontal ligament gradually
undergo degeneration and are no longer recognizable.
32. 32
THIRD WEEK WOUND
As healing continues into the third week , the original clot
appear completely organized by mature granulation tissue and
poorly calcified bone at the wound perimeter.
The surface of the wound is re-epithelialized with minimum or
no scar formation.
Very young trabeculae of osteoid bone forms around the entire
periphery of the wound from the socket wall.
The original cortical bone of the alveolar socket undergoes
remodeling so that it is no longer consist of such a dense layer.
The crest of the alveolar bone is rounded off by osteoclastic
resorption.
33. 33
FOURTH WEEK WOUND
During the fourth week the wound begins the final stage of
healing, in which there is continued deposition and
resorption of the bone filling the alveolar socket.
Much of this early bone is poorly calcified, as is evident
from its general radiolucency on the radiograph.
Radiographic evidence of bone formation does not become
prominent until the sixth or eighth week after tooth
extraction.
35. Periodontal wound healing
HEALING FOLLOWING SCALING & ROOT PLANING
Immediately after Scaling of teeth the epithelial
attachment will be disturbed, junctional & crevicular
epithelium partially removed.
Numerous polymorphonuclear leucocytes can be
seen between residual epithelial cells & crevicular
surface in about 2 hrs
There is dilation of blood vessels, oedema & necrosis in
the lateral wall of the pocket
35
36. In 4-5 days a new epithelial attachment may
appear at bottom of sulcus. Depending on the
severity of inflammation & the depth of
the gingival crevice, complete epithelial healing
occurs in 1-2 weeks
Immature collagen fibers occur within 21days.
Following scaling, root planning & curettage
procedure healing occurs with the formation of a
long thin junctional epithelium with no connective
tissue attachment.
36
37. 37
Reduction in pocket depth occurs by two principal
mechanisms:
1- Recession of the gingival margin due to
resolution of inflammation and subsequent
reduction in swelling and hyperplasia
2- Reattachment to the root surface. This occurs
primarily by the formation of a long junctional
epithelial attachment. Epithelial cells grow from
the gingival sulcus to repopulate the pocket lining
and attach by hemidesmosomes to the root
surface. This is most likely to occur in the
absence of inflammation
38. 38
Periodontal pocket formation
A- junctional epithelium at CEJ
B- junctional epithelium on cementum, destruction of periodontal
fibres
C-destruction of periodontal fibres and alveolar bone
40. Healing following periodontal
procedures
40
During healing 4 type of cells compete to migrate in
the area of wound.
1. Oral epithelium cells
2. Gingival connective tissue cells
3. Bone cells
4. Periodontal ligament cells
41. 41
Oral epithelium cells- long junctional epithelium
(repair)
Gingival connective tissue cells- fibres which are
parallel to tooth surface.
Bone cells- ankylosis
Periodontal ligament cells- periodontal fibres, new
cementum, new alveolar bone.(regeneration)
43. 43
Repair- restores the continuity of diseased marginal
gingiva.
- reestablishes normal gingival sulcus.
-but no gain in alveolar bone height.
- no formation of periodontal fibres.
- by formation of long junctional epithelium.
44. 44
Regeneration- natural renewal of a structure,
produced by growth and differentiation of new
cells and intercellular substance to form new
tissues or parts.
-regeneration occurs through growth from same
type of tissue that has been destroyed.
- formation of new periodontal fibres, new
cementum, new alveolar bone, gingival
epithelium.
45. 45
New attachment- New cementum formation with
inserting collagen fibers on a root previously
denuded of its periodontal ligament.
- New cementum formation, new periodontal
ligament fibres formation. No formation of new
alveolar bone.
46. HEALING FOLLOWING CURETTAGE
A blood clot forms between the root surface & the
lateral wall of the pocket, soon after the curettage
Large number of polymorphonuclear leucocytes
appear in the area shortly after the procedure
This is followed by rapid proliferation of granulation
tissue.
Epithelial cells proliferate along the sulcus.
46
47. Epithelisation of the inner surface of the lateral
wall is completed in 2-7 days
The junctional epithelium is also formed in about
5 days
Healing results in the formation of a long
junctional epithelium adherent to the root surface.
47
48. HEALING FOLLOWING FLAPSUR
GERY
Immediately after suturing of the flap against tooth
surface a clot forms between the tissues
The clot consists of fibrin reticulum with many
polymorphonuclear leukocytes, erythrocytes & remnants
of injured clots
At edge of flap numerous capillaries are seen.
1-3days after surgery space between flap & tooth surface
& bone appears reduced & the epithelial cells along
border of the flap start migrating
By 1 week after surgery
epithelial cells have migrated &established an attachment
to root surface by means of hemidesmosomes
48
49. The blood clot is replaced by granulation tissue
proliferating from the gingival connective tissue, alveolar
bone and periodontal ligament
By 2nd week collagen fibers begins to appear. Collagen
fibers gets arranged parallel to root surface rather than
at right angles. The attachment between soft tissue &
tooth surface is weak
By end of one month following surgery the epithelial
attachment is well formed & the gingival crevice is also
well epithealised
There is beginning of functional arrangement of
supracrestal fibres.
49
50. Educating the patients
50
Wounds have less chance of becoming infected and
progress through the healing process faster if they are
kept clean.
Self-care of Burns and Abrasions (Scrapes)
Keep the bandage(s) dry between changes.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
Clean wound(s) with a soapy washcloth. You may do
this in the shower. (Permanent tattooing can occur if all
dirt or asphalt is not totally removed from injured skin.)
Dry wound(s) gently with a clean towel.
Apply antibiotic ointment to wound(s).
Apply a dry, clean bandage
51. Post-extraction precautions to
improve healing
51
Patient should be educated by the dentist to follow these
precautions.
1.Bite tightly on the gauze- pressure application to stop
bleeding.
2. Use an ice pack- reduces bleeding and controls
swelling by constricting blood vessels.
3. Gargle with a warm saline rinse- to prevent
accumulation of debris( which will prolong healing
process).
4. Avoid toothbrush near extraction site- irritation due to
bristles at extraction site will delay healing.
5.Use of mouthwash- will help kill bacteria and prevent
infection.
52. 52
7.Healthy diet has the potential to accelerate oral
wound healing. So the patients should be advised
to take diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin C.
53. CONCLUSION
The healing wound is a dynamic and changing
process .The early phase is one of inflammation,
followed by a stage of fibroplasia, followed by
tissue remodelling and scarring. Different
mechanisms occur at different times.
The public health professional deals with a large
group of population during health camps during
which lot of extractions and periodontal
procedures are done. So during these camps the
patients can be educated regarding wound
healing and precautions to be taken post wound.
