(medsci.org)
  • Secondary healing, on the other hand, occurs in areas which are not covered by normally epithelialized tissue due to intentional (extraction sockets, apically repositioned flaps) or accidental (wounds with full thickness loss of substance) exposure, or due to an insufficient amount of lining tissue to be used for coverage. (medsci.org)
  • Lastly, a fourth type of wound healing can also be considered when the overlying tissue is partially lost (abrasion) or intentionally removed (epithelialized free gingival graft donor site), so a de-epithelialized connective tissue layer is exposed and heals by re-epithelialization from the normal contiguous epithelium 2 .
