General principles of healing pertinent to the periodontal problem

D V Messadi et al. Dent Clin North Am. 1991 Jul.

Abstract

The healing process involves a series of coordinated procedures initiated by injury and directed toward restoring structural and functional integrity of the disrupted tissues. Wound healing begins immediately after tissue injury occurs and requires close control of degenerative and regenerative processes, which involve numerous cell types and complex interactions between multiple biochemical cascades.
