WOUND
A break in the continuity of the
tissues
 Physical
 Compromisaed blood flow
 Crushing
 Desiccation
 Incision
 Irraiation
 Overcooling
 Overheating
CAUSES OF TISSUE
DAMAGE
 Chemical
 Agents wd inphysiologic pH
 Agents wd unphysiologic tonicity
 Proteases
 Vasoconstrictors
 Thrombogenic agents
WOUND REPAIR
EPITHELIALIZATION
 Injured epithelium has genetically programmed regenerative ability that allows it
to establish its integrity
 Free edges of epith cont. to migrate until it comes into contact with another free
edge of epith
 Abrasions (surface epith)
e.g
 detrimental effect of process of c.inhibition controlling
epithelialization occurs when
o Opening is accidently made into maxillary sinus during tooth
xtraction.
o If epith of sinus wall and oral mucosa is injured ..it begins to
proliferate in both areas….. creating OROANTRAL
FISTULA
STAGES OF WOUND
HEALING
TREE BASIC STAGES:
 INFLAMMATORY STAGE (reactive phase)
 PROLIFREATIVE STAGE (regenarative or reparative)
fibroplastic phase
 REMODELLING STAGE (maturational phase)
INFLAMMATOY STAGE
o Tissue injury…lasts for 3-5 days
o TWO PHASES:
i. Vascular phase
ii. Cellular phase
VASCULAR PHASE
initial vasoconstriction of disrupted vessels…..blood coagulation
Histamine , prostaglandins elaborate by WBCs
…vasodilation…which allows plasma to leak and leukocytes to
migrate into interstitial tissues
 Fibrin from plasma causes lymphatic obstruction ..accumulate in the
area of injury ….EDEMA
Signs of inflammation are
Redness
Swelling
Warmth and pain
Functio laesa
(fig)
CELLULAR PHASE
 Triggered by complement products .... act as chemotactic factors and cause
neutrophils…
o Margination ….
o Diapedesis
o Contact wd foreign material …. Degranulation
o Lysosomal enzymes …destroy foreign materials ..digest necrotic tissue also
aided by monocytes..macrophages
 Wd time lymphocytes accumulate at site of tissue injury
 B lymphocytes
o able to recognise antigenic material produce antibodies that assist
in identifying foreign materials and interact wd complements to lyse
foreign cells
 T lymphocytes
o Helper T cells
o Suppressor T cells
o Cytotoxic T cells
 LAG phase
 During ds phase no significant gain in wound strength occurs ..little
collegen deposition
 Fibrin … material holding wound…..little tensile strength
PROLIFATIVE STAGE
The combined process of epithelialization , firoplasia and
angiogenesis accur in ordr to replace dead
and missing tissue
Lasts for 2 days to 3 weeks
FIBROPLASTIC PHASE
 Strands of fibrin… form latticework…fibroblast can begin laying down ground
substance and tropocollagen
 Ground substance (mucopolysaccharides )…. Cement collagen fibers
 Fibroblasts secrete fibronectin…helps
 Stabilize fibrin
 Assist in recognizing foreign material
 Act as chemotactic factor for fibroblasts
 Helps to guide macrophages along fibrin strands for phagocytosis
of fibrin
Fibroblasts deposit tropocollagen….
Collagen produced in xcessive amounts nd laid down in
haphazard manner …. Effectiveness of collagen to
produce wound strength….rapidly inc during fibroplastic
stage , which normally lasts for 2-3 weeks.
If Wound is placed under tension
o at the beginning of fibroplasia
o Near the end of fibroplasia
o At the end of fibroplastic
stage……stiff…..erythematous…able
to wdstand 70-80% tension
REMODELLING STAGE
 Final stage….many of previous randomly laid collagen fibers are
destroyed as they are replaced by new collagen fibers, which are oriented to
better resist tensile forces of wound
 Slowly wound strength ..80-85%
 Allows the Scar to soften…
 Loss of edema…
 Wd time … vascularity
…diminishes wound
erythema….Elastin is not replaced in
injured tissue…. loss of flexibility along
scarred area(fig5)
 Take 3 weeks to 2 years to complete
WOUND CONTRACTION
o Final process….
o edges of wound migrate toward eachothr
o In which edges are not placed in apposition
, wound contracrion diminishes size of wound
 Problems
 third-degree …develop deforming nd debilitating contractures, if
wounds are not replaced wd skin grafts
 Can b lessened by placement of a layer of epith between d free edges
of wound
FACTORS THAT IMPAIR
WOUND HEALING
 Foreign mateial
3 basic problems
i. Bacteria…..
ii. Nonbacterial foreign material…
iii. Foeign material is often antigenic…
That decreases fibroplasia
 Infection
 Necrotic tissue
causes 2 problems
i. serve as a barrier to ingrowth of reparative cells….
ii. Serves as a protected niche for bacteria….
Include blood…..haematoma…….
 Drugs
 Nutritional problems
 Low temp
Distal aspect of xtremities (reduction of 1-1.5 C 2-3F)
Ischemia
 Dec blood supply >>> tissue necrosis >>> lessen the delivery to
wound of antibodies, WBCs >>> inc the chances of wound infection
 dec delivery of O2 ….nutrients….
 Caused by
 Tight or incorrectly located sutures, improperly designed flaps, excessive
external or internal pressure on wound, systemic hypotension,
peripheral vascular disease and anaemia
Tension
 If sutures are used to pull tissues together forcefully, >>> ischemia of
tissues
 If sutures are removed too early >>> reopen >>> heal with
scar…w-contraction
 If sutures are left in too long in attempt to overcome wound
tension…spread open during remodelling stage…and tract into epith
through which sutures ran will epithelialize and leave permanent
disfiguring marks
 Edges of wound in which no
tissue loss are placed
 Wound in which edges are
closely reapproximated
 Healing occur more rapidly wd
low risk of infection
 wound repair wd minimum
scar tissue
 Tissue loss has occurred so A
gap is left between edges of incision
or laceration
 Tissue loss prevents
approximation of wound edges
 Healing is slower
 Produces more scar formation
HEALING
Primary Intention 2ndy Intention
 Wound repair lessen amount of
re-epithelialization , collagen
deposition, contraction and remodelling
 Primary closure should b
performed in 6-8 hr of trauma
but vascular areas may b closed
upto 24 hrs
 e.g
Well repaired lacerations or
incisions, well-reduced bone fracture
 A large amount of epithelial
migration, collagen deposition,
contraction and remodelling
 Wound is left open and heals by
formation of granulation tissue and
contraction
 e.g
Extraction sockets, poorly
reduced fractures, deep ulcers, large
avulsive injuries of any soft tissue
Primay Intention 2ndy Intention
HEALING BY
THIRD INTENTION
 Delayed closure of wound after a vaiable period of time for which it
been left open
 Healing of wounds through the use of tissue grafts to cover large
wounds and bridge the gap between wound edges
