Biological and Clinical Early Wound Healing Mechanisms of Periodontal and Peri-implant Soft Tissues
Periodontal wound healing is based on a series of biological and cellular events that drive the soft and hard tissues to a clinical final result, of reparative or regenerative nature. The soft tissues, epithelium and gingival connective tissue, when considered alone, seem to possess peculiar characteristics. They play a role of high specialization in that, as a result of injury, they need to achieve the outcome of healing as quickly as possible in order to ensure the deep tissues (bone and cementum) to better reach the major objective for the clinician, i.e. the gain of attachment.
Learning objectives :
- to understand periodontal soft tissue’s new biology
- techniques and biomaterials interact and
- eventually become periodontal new attachment.
