What are the four basic types of wound healing
Repair
Reattachment
New Attachment
Regeneration
Describe healing by repair
healing of a wound by formation of tissues that do not precisely restore the original architecture or original function of the body part
Ex. Healing after periodontal instrumentation results in a long junctional epithelium
No new bone
No new cementum
No new periodontal ligament
Describe healing by reattachment
Reattachment is healing by the reunion of the periodontal connective tissue and the root of the tooth where the two tissues have been separated by incision or injury, but not by disease
Describe healing by new attachment
New attachment occurs when epithelium and connective tissue reattach to the root of a tooth where periodontitis had previously destroyed the attachment
