Remodelling
Wound healing in skin and oral mucosa shares many common cellular and molecular processes, as described above; however, there are also notable differences due to the distinct characteristics and functions of these two tissue types.
A significant difference is the environment. Oral mucosal wounds benefit from a protective mucus layer, which expedites healing and protects against further damage. The mucus layer also aids in maintaining lubrication in the oral cavity. It is known that for skin wound healing, a moist environment results in faster reepithelialisation, angiogenesis and wound maturation(24, 25). In oral mucosa, saliva does not only provide a natural moist environment, it also contains wound healing stimulating growth factors, e.g. epidermal growth factor (EGF), VEGF, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and histamine(26, 27). Moreover, saliva contains many antimicrobial peptides that elimi­nate microorganisms, e.g. defensin, histatin, cathelicidin, lysosome, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase (23, 28). It has been shown that a healthy oral biofilm, with increased antimicrobial peptide expression, improved barrier function in reconstructed human gingiva (29, 30). Furthermore, microbes positively affect wound healing by activating macrophages, dendritic cells and T cells, resulting in stem cell proliferation stimulating cytokines, e.g. TNF- α, IL- 6, IL- 10 and IL- 17(31, 32).

Another factor is the inflammation response during wound healing. In oral wounds, the baseline immune status is higher, but the inflammation response was shown to be reduced and concluded earlier than in skin wounds(33). The number of immune cells, e.g. neutrophils, macrophages and T cells, and the levels of inflammation mediators, e.g. IL- 6, IL- 8, IL- 23, IL- 24, TNF- α and TGF- β, in oral mucosa are reduced compared to skin(3, 34, 35).
An essential characteristic of the oral mucosa is that it contains more blood vessels than the skin, which is essential regarding wound healing properties since blood vessels bring oxygen, nutrients and immune cells to the injury site(12).
Regarding epithelial regeneration, i.e. reepithelialisation, where epithelial cells (keratinocytes) cover the wound, the oral mucosal epithelial cells (keratinocytes) have a relatively faster prolifera­tion rate and are less differentiated compared to the skin keratinocytes(11, 35). This contributes to the quicker regeneration potential of oral mucosal wounds(7, 11).
The repair process in the skin involves the deposition of a significant amount of collagen by fibroblasts. This results in the formation of fibrotic tissue, which can lead to noticeable scar forma­tion. In oral mucosa, the fibroblasts show increased proliferation, migration and efficiency in remodelling connective tissue(36, 37). Due to the rapid proliferation of fibroblasts and the mini­mal need for extensive collagen production, oral mucosal wound healing tends to result in less noticeable scarring than skin wounds.
13.4 Summary
201
In summary, the presence of saliva, more efficient inflammation response, faster reepithelialisa­tion (i.e. wound closure) and extracellular matrix remodelling all contribute to faster healing with less scarring of oral mucosal wounds to cutaneous wounds.

14.1 Introduction
The replacement of injured tissue with healthy tissue to restore function is referred to as healing. One of the most fascinating phenomena that distinguishes a living thing is the ability to heal wounds. Damaged tissue’s innate capacity to heal itself is a reaction to life. Over the past few decades, there has been progress in our comprehension of the mechanisms underlying oral wound healing and how these understandings are applied to modern clinical treatment strategies. It is thought that an organism will eventually perish from an unhealed wound. Consequently, frombirth onward, wound healing needs to be regarded as one of the main survival strategies. It should be abundantly evident that the healing process of a wound is a highly intricate sequence of biological events rather than an isolated, solitary phenomenon.
Healing is not an event, but a process. It consists of wound contraction, which is at least partially attributed to myofibroblasts, which are modified fibroblasts that have ultrastructural similarities to smooth muscle cells. Due to the division and migration of nearby cells, this contraction results in shrinkage in the wound size during the few initial weeks and the substitution of the lost tissue. ‘Regeneration’ is the process of replacing destroyed tissue with comparable type tissue; ‘repair’ is the process of replacing lost tissue with granulation tissue, which leaves scars.
Tissue healing is commonly seen as a stage of the inflammatory response because it is inextrica­bly linked to the vascular and cellular processes that precede an injury. Healing occurs quickly when the wound’s edges are close together; this is termed as primary healing or healing by first intention. When tissue is lost and the wound’s borders cannot be closed, the wound shrinks, granulation tissue fills it, and the surface of the wound becomes epithelialised. We refer to this as secondary intention healing. Granulation tissue has a distinctively bright pink colour and is mostly made up of fibroblasts and proliferating capillaries.
An array of growth factors (GFs) along with cytokines (CKs) is important in the process of healing. The epithelium around the injured area produces an epidermal growth factor (EGF) that aids in the repair of the epithelial tissue. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF), which is released by

macrophages, mediates fibroblast activity in addition to transforming growth factor- α (TGF- α). Blood vessel development is triggered by EGF. All tissues heal following injury in essentially the same way, while there are several external and intrinsic variables that can alter this process.
Oral injuries are frequent; some are unintentional (such as jaw fractures), and others are iatrogenic (such as extraction, biopsy, etc.), and some are the result of a disease process (e.g. various mouth ulcers). The unique anatomical features of the mouth cavity, including the teeth’s protrusion from the bone, the gingival tissues’ ongoing inflammation, and the myriad microorganisms present in saliva’s warm, moist medium, all influence how different wounds heal.
This chapter focuses on the healing of dental pulp, periodontal tissues, extraction socket and bone fractures. The functions of these oral structures, their healing processes, factors affecting the healing and complications involved are also discussed.
14.2 Healing ofDental Pulp
Structured strata of cells that multiply and differentiate to finish root development make up nor­mal pulp tissue(1). The pulp is a mesenchymal soft tissue that encompasses the central chamber till the tip of the tooth root. It comes from the neural crest(2).
The prepositioned inflammatory process, pulp tissue repair and self- renewal are the functions carried out by the pulp cells(3). The degree of bacterial invasion has important role to play in the repair process.
Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) forms a diaphragm that controls the number, form and dimensions of the roots(4, 5). The papilla at the apical area stores undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells as a reservoir for further root dentin formation(6). In addition to the HERS, follicular tissue and stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP) are involved in the development of apical complex cells that are responsible for the formation of root and periodontium(7, 8).
Nevertheless, following infection exposure, there are notable histopathologic changes at the pulp– dentin interface, which include the displacement of tissue that resembles the periodontal ligament, osteoblasts, and cementum, and the absence of cells(5, 9, 10). The damaged root canal wall has no odontoblasts and is healed by the deposition of periodontal tissue. There is absence of dentinal tubules and odontoblast processes. Apical papilla show significantly decreased cellularity with a discontinuous or nonexistent HERS as the pulp tissue enters the necrotic phase(5, 10).
The tooth is made up of the mineralised enamel and dentin, the interior soft tissue, pulp and a one- way neurovascular supply. Because calcified tissue confines the dental pulp, the inflammatory response raises the intra- pulp canal pressure. This pressure then travels down the root canal into the root apex, resulting in periapical abscess(5, 11, 12). If the abscess is not treated, it may lead to loss of bone anchorage and extrusion of tooth. The untreated condition can lead to resorption ofroots and disruption of periodontium affecting the periodontal ligament space and alveolar bone(12). In order to reduce intra- canal pressure causing pain, endodontic therapy comes into picture. The treatment is also called root canal therapy (RCT) that includes removal of infected pulpal tissue (9,11). The age as per the status of the root apex and the depth of the inflammation penetration determine the pulp treatment mode, which can be determined by pulp capping (direct or indirect), pulpectomy (partial or complete), apexification or apexogenesis(9). Pulp, dentin and periodontium tissue will react to the pathogenic stressors by utilising chemical signalling and cell– cell commu­nication to initiate a biological defence mechanism. These mechanisms may serve as the healing foci of repair and regeneration.

14.2.1 Healing Process
14.2.1.1 Pulp Wound Healing: Necrotic Layer andIts Function
Similar to other wounds, pulpal wounds almost usually develop a layer of necrotic tissue at their surface. The presence of this layer has occasionally been viewed as a negative side effect, and the high pH of calcium hydroxide has led to concerns about its suitability for pulp capping, for example. However, the growth of reparative dentine beneath the exposed site may be facilitated in part by the necrotic layer. Following pulp exposure, the creation of reparative dentine or healing with a hard tissue requires some sort of surface on which the newly formed odontoblasts or cells resembling odontoblasts can adhere. The basal membrane between ameloblasts and odontoblasts functions as a structural meshwork helping in cell immobilisation during odontoblastic differen­tiation. GFs, tenascin and fibronectin are examples of basement membrane components that support odontoblast development and polarisation(13– 15). The GFs along with TGF- β superfam- ily control odontoblastic differentiation and the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) during the early stages of odontogenesis. Basement membrane constituents also function as ligands for cell adhesion(13).
The necrotic layer functions as an attachment surface for substances promoting odontoblast- like cell differentiation during pulpal wound healing, perhaps imitating some of the functions of the basement membrane(16, 17). The trials showing that Teflon, an inert pulp- capping substance, solely causes soft tissue reorganisation and does not cause the creation of hard tissue lend credence to this assumption(18, 19). It would also explain, at least in part, the positive outcomes of the clinical work and experimentation conducted with Ca(OH) despite or perhaps precisely because of its caustic consequences.
Fibronectin has been mentioned as a major contender in the replacement- odontoblast differen­tiation and as one of the elements that may contribute to the preodontoblast polarisation and their terminal development(17, 20).
Yoshiba etal. (20) investigated fibronectin expression in human teeth pulp capping during experimental Ca(OH) treatment. According to the study, fibronectin connected to the first calcified layer may have a role in the replacement- odontoblasts’ differentiation and organisation following pulp capping(20). The tertiary dentine with few tubules had formed 28days after pulp capping, and the dentine– pulp complex resembled that of a normal tissue(20) (Figure14.1).
14.2.1.2 Pulp Vasculature
Smaller arteries may reach the pulp through lateral canals, while arterioles with a diameter of
0.1 mm/less enter through the apical foramen. The capillary plexus that forms underneath the odontoblast cell layer in the root canal comprises branches of the arterioles. The arterioles split off to form a dense sub- odontoblastic terminal capillary plexus(21) in pulpal tissue. Particularly in the

pulp, coronal pulp has twice the capillary blood flow than that of the radicular pulpal tissue(22). Capillaries may infiltrate the odontoblast layer in younger teeth during dentogenesis in its rapid phase to supply nutrients to the active cells(21).
Larger venules, possibly twice as massive as the arterioles, are still being formed by the post­capillary venules. It is believed that the venules’ incredibly thin walls make it easier for fluid to enter and exit the vessels(23).
The dentine– pulp complex cells receive their nourishment and oxygen from the pulp vascular system, which also removes harmful materials and heat generated during procedures like tooth preparation. A local inflammatory response evoked is typified by decreased blood flow resistance and dilatation of the arteries. Serum proteins and fluid enter into the tissue because of subsequent increase in intravascular pressure and capillary blood flow followed by extravasation of leuko­cytes(24). Within four hours of the cavity being prepared, increased vascular permeability(24) leading to entry of inflammatory cells ensures removal of bacterial toxins and metabolic waste products. Tissue pressure rises because of cell extravasation, protein and fluid filtration resulting in oedema. The pulp tissue is constrained by the low compliance environment created by the surrounding dentine and enamel. However, the tissue pressure may rise to the point where it surpasses the venular pressure compressing the venules. This obstruction of venous drainage decreases the blood flow, which further worsens due to blood cell aggregation and increased blood viscosity as a result of slower flow. The subsequent local hypoxia, rise in carbon dioxide and meta­bolic waste products and fall in pH cause vasodilatation of pulp vasculature leading to spread of inflammation(25).
Measures must be taken to contain pulp necrosis within a region to prevent total necrosis. Studies have demonstrated that under cavities/restorations, there are localised areas of inflammation surrounded by healthy pulp. Pulp vasculature helps in stopping the spread of inflammation. The macromolecules may be forced into the venules of the healthy site by tissue pressure(25) leading to improved blood flow, oxygen delivery and elimination of harmful substances and metabolic waste products by lowering the venule resistance (Figure14.2).
207
14.2.1.3 Nerves’ Involvement inControlling Pulp Inflammation
Along with the blood arteries, the nerve fibres enter the pulpal tissue to form a neurovascular bundle. A vital plexus is evident in the coronal pulp and is called sub- odontoblastic plexus of Raschkow(21).
The pulpal tissue contains myelinated as well as unmyelinated sensory afferent and sympathetic nerves. A- delta fibres make up most myelinated fibres, whereas C- fibres make up the bulk of unmyelinated fibres. A- delta fibre terminals, which cause a sharp, prickling pain sensation, are primarily found near the dentine– pulp junction. This is also where they typically shed their myelin sheath. Sensing dull discomfort, C- fibres are more likely dispersed throughout the pulp (23). Additionally, some A- beta mechanoreceptors that are vibration- sensitive exist(26).
Studies indicate that pulp nerves have a role in controlling defensive responses in the dentine– pulp complex. Apart from the distinct nociceptive fibres, many A- delta and C- fibres are part of the polymodal receptor system. Numerous characteristics of these receptors are not often associated with nerve fibres, such as vasodilatation, pulp cell activity, dentinal fluid outflow and the control of inflammatory responses (26). Rodd and Boissonade(27) suggested that the regulation of the dentine– pulp complex defensive reaction might be the primary function of the nerves. Endogenous inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, histamine, bradykinin and interleukin- I [IL- I]) induce vasodilatation resulting in vascular leakage directly through vascular receptors(28). Only an exter­nal stimulus on the tooth itself triggers the release of neuropeptides from afferent neurons, includ­ing substance P and calcitonin gene- related peptide (CGRP). Neuropeptides start a pro- inflammatory

Byers and Taylor(29) found that the sensory denervation of a rat tooth leads to pulpal necrosis, while the healthy control tooth (same animal) sprouted a strong CGRP- positive response indicat­ing a strong nervous system reaction to the exposure and infection(29) (Figure14.3).

Direct pulp capping (DPC) DPC covers the exposed pulp directly with a dental biomaterial to facilitate pulpal healing and create a mineralised tissue barrier (Figure14.4).
Mechanism of action of DPC DPC biomaterials placed directly over exposed pulp tissue result in superficial necrosis. In addition to inducing mineralisation, the DPC biomaterial has antibacterial qualities(30). A thin necrotic layer is formed between the DPC agent and the essential pulp tissue because of the release of hydroxyl ions from DPC biomaterials, which increase the pH of the underlying tissue(31). The cells underneath this necrotic zone are shielded from the material’s alkaline pH(32) resulting in pulpal regeneration and repair(33). By denaturing proinflammatory CKs and activating IL- 10, the elevated pH may also have an anti- inflammatory effect(34– 37).
Protective liner A protective liner serves as a barrier between the pulp and the restoration and is made of calcium hydroxide, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), trisilicate cement or another biocompatible sub­stance to encourage pulp tissue recovery(38– 40).
