Gram Local irritation or trauma
Local low- grade irritation or trauma Female hormones in pregnancy can be precipitating factors
Poor oral hygiene. The irritant could be microbial deposits in dental plaque and calculus. Systemic factors include hormonal disturbances or blood dyscrasias, which
can render gingiva susceptible to microbial flora and contribute to inflammatory gingival enlargement.
Dental plaque accumulation Increased levels of oestrogen and progesterone accentuate the gingival
response to plaque. Between the Gingival, inflammation increases between the 14th and 30th
weeks of pregnancy. Gingival abscess: Plaque or foreign body entrapped in the gingival sulcus.

13.1 Introduction
Wound healing is a physiological response to tissue injury involving a complex interaction between cellular and molecular processes and the vascular system (1). The biological process of wound healing in the human body consists of overlapping phases, i.e. the inflammatory phase (haemosta­sis and inflammation), the proliferation phase and the remodelling phase. Specific cellular and molecular responses regulate these phases. Dysregulation, especially in the inflammatory phase (i.e. prolonged, overactive response), can result in detrimental effects like delayed wound closure and hypertrophic scars(2). Interestingly, oral mucosal wounds heal faster with less scarring than cutaneous wounds(3).
Cutaneous and oral mucosal wounds can be caused by trauma, surgery, infections or due to medical conditions. Understanding the underlying processes that govern wound healing is of sci­entific importance and holds significant clinical implications. Successful restoration of tissue integrity is paramount in preventing complications such as infections, scarring and impaired func­tion of skin and mucosa. In addition, providing a comprehensive overview of the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing cutaneous and oral mucosal wound healing will give insights that may have significant implications in regenerative medicine, tissue engineering and therapeu­tic interventions.
This chapter delves into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the healing of cutaneous and oral mucosal wounds, from the unique structural characteristics and microenviron­ment to the intricate behaviour of various cell types, molecules and extracellular matrix compo­nents that enable the skin and mucosa to restore damaged tissue.

13.2.1 Tissue Architecture
Skin and oral mucosa comprise a specialised tissue architecture that provides unique structural characteristics (Figure13.1).
The outermost layer of both skin and oral mucosa is a stratified epithelium (in the skin called the epidermis), which contains keratinocytes, melanocytes, Merkel cells and Langerhans cells (4). This layer provides a barrier against physiological and pathogenic external factors, e.g. body fluid loss, exposure to toxins and microbial invasion(5, 6). The skin epidermis is entirely keratinised, whereas the oral mucosa differs in the keratinised epithelium of the hard palate and gingiva and the non- keratinised epithelium of the buccal mucosa and soft palate. This can be explained by the fact that the hard palate and gingiva have to withstand mechanical forces during chewing, and both buccal mucosa and soft palate have to be flexible to stretch and withstand compression

forces(6, 7). Furthermore, the oral epithelium is thicker than the skin epidermis, consisting of more cell layers, 20– 30 and 5– 8living cell layers, respectively. Moreover, the cell proliferation rate in oral mucosa is also higher than in the skin(8).
In skin, the layer underneath the epidermis, named the dermis, consists of a network of extra­cellular matrix, i.e. collagen and elastic fibres, providing strength and elasticity to the skin. It contains blood vessels, nerve endings, immune cells and skin appendages, including hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis can be subdivided into the superficial, thin papillary dermis and the deeper, thicker reticular dermis (9). The connective tissue layer underneath the oral mucosal epithelium is called the lamina propria, which can be subdivided into a superficial papillary layer and a deeper reticular layer. Like the skin dermis, the lamina propria contains blood vessels and immune cells, playing an essential role in the oral immune response(10). Both the dermis and lamina propria extracellular matrix mainly consist of collagen type I and III (in ratio 5:1); the lamina propria underneath the non- keratinised oral epithelium consists of extracellular matrix that has a looser structure and contains more elastin compared to skin dermis and lamina propria underneath keratinised oral epithelium(3, 11). This can also be explained by the fact that buccal mucosa and soft palate must be more flexible to withstand compression forces. The papillary layer of the lamina propria is formed by thin collagen fibres that are irregularly oriented and contain many capillary loops, providing nutrient transport. The underlying reticular layer is formed by thicker and parallel- oriented collagen fibres, giving strength to compression and shear to the oral mucosa(3, 11– 13).
The deepest skin later is the subcutis, also known as the hypodermis. This layer mainly consists of adipose tissue, providing energy storage and insulation and containing adipocytes, adipose stem cells and progenitor cells. In addition, the hypodermis connects the dermis with muscles and bones. In the oral submucosa, the lamina propria of the buccal mucosa and soft palate are similarly on top of an adipose tissue layer, i.e. submucosa. In contrast, the lamina propria of the hard palate and gingiva are directly attached to bone via mucoperiosteum(6, 9).
13.2.2 Cellular andMolecular Composition
The microenvironment in the skin and oral mucosa regulates the maintenance of tissue integrity, homeostasis and the immune response. Within this microenvironment, the interplay of cellular components, extracellular matrix, blood vessels and immune cells collectively regulate physiologi­cal processes, including wound healing(3, 14) (Figure13.1).
Regarding the cellular microenvironment, keratinocytes are the predominant cell type in the epidermis and oral mucosal epithelium, responsible for producing keratin that provides strength and water- resistant properties (15). Melanocytes in the epidermis produce the pig­ment melanin, which offers skin colour and protection against UV radiation(16). Oral mucosal melanin can neutralise toxins and bacterial products, thus acting as an extra defence bar­rier(17, 18). Langerhans cells, a type of dendritic cell in the epidermis and oral mucosal epi­thelium, are essential for the immune response by detecting and processing antigens that enter the skin(16). Merkel cells are specialised cells, also known as ‘touch cells’, essential for light touch sensation(19).
Both dermis and lamina propria contain blood vessels that provide oxygen, nutrition and immune cells and mediators; nerves that regulate sensation; lymphatic vessels that transport lymph fluid away from the tissue back to the circulatory system; and immune cells, e.g. dendritic cells, neutrophils, macrophages and mast cells, to protect against infections and modulate inflam­matory responses(10, 16). The dermal layer of the skin also contains appendages such as hair

follicles and sweat glands. The oral mucosa contains various mucous glands, such as the minor salivary glands. These glands secrete mucus to lubricate the oral cavity and aid in digestion.
Fibroblasts, the most abundant cell type in the dermis and lamina propria, produce and deposit extracellular matrix components (e.g. collagen, elastin and proteoglycans). By secreting growth factors such as transforming growth factor- beta (TGF- β), cytokines including tumour necrosis factor- alpha (TNF- α), and enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), fibroblasts regulate keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, and extracellular matrix formation(20). Therefore, fibroblasts are crucial in tissue remodelling during wound healing of skin and oral mucosa.
The connective tissue, i.e. the extracellular matrix of the dermis and lamina propria, is com­posed of collagen, providing strength; elastin, maintaining elasticity; and proteoglycans, giving hydration and viscosity. MMPs, produced by fibroblasts, keratinocytes, neutrophils and mast cells, regulate the remodelling of the connective tissue.
The subcutis provides insulation, acts as an energy reservoir and has an endocrine function as it synthesises oestrone and leptin (15). The main cell type within it is the adipocyte. The subcutis forms a fibrous connective tissue with a rich microvascular network providing oxygen and nutri­ent exchange, nerves, and lymphatic vessels(16). Similarly, the submucosa comprises adipose tis­sue with minor salivary glands, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic vessels(10).
Regarding the microenvironment of skin and oral mucosa, a significant difference is the micro­biome and saliva in oral mucosa. The oral mucosa has a greater diversity of microbial species than skin(21, 22), and saliva plays a vital role in keeping the microbial balance(23). Around 700 unique microbial species have been identified in the healthy oral cavity(21, 22). The skin microbiome primarily consists of bacteria, e.g. Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Propionibacterium, and some fungi and viruses. In contrast, the oral mucosa includes bacteria, commonly Streptococcus, Actinomyces, and Veillonella, fungi and viruses.

13.3 Wound Healing inSkin andOral Mucosa
13.3.1 Cellular andMolecular Mechanisms
Wound healing in the skin and oral mucosa is a highly complex and well- coordinated sequence of processes where specific cellular and molecular processes regulate the haemostasis, inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling phases (Figure13.2).
After an injury, neutrophils are the first immune cells that arrive at the wound site in response to chemokine interleukin- 8 (IL- 8) secretion, followed by macrophages. These immune cells phago­cytose dead tissue, i.e. debris, and possible pathogens, initiating the early inflammatory response by secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, e.g. IL- 1, IL- 6 and TNF- α(2, 3).
Platelet- derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates fibroblast proliferation in the proliferation phase. Fibroblasts proliferate and migrate to the wound site and produce and deposit extracellular matrix, mainly collagen, forming the tissue repair framework. TGF- β stimulates collagen produc- tion and myofibroblast differentiation, which are responsible for wound contraction. In contrast, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes angiogenesis by endothelial cells to supply oxygen and nutrients to the healing tissue. Keratinocytes and other epithelial cells migrate from the wound edges, forming a new epidermal/epithelial layer(2, 3).
Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts continue with extracellular matrix (collagen) deposition during remodelling, leading to tissue maturation and scar formation. In contrast, MMPs are involved in the degradation and reorganising of the extracellular matrix(2, 3).
