title: Healing of surgical wounds in oral mucoperiosteal tissues.
abstract: This report provides a review of the major biological events that occur in the oral mucoperiosteal tissues following simple surgical wounding. The chronological sequence and interrelationships of mucoperiosteal tissue wound healing responses are described. The objectives of this review are to provide clarification of wound healing terminology and a basic reference source for further investigative research into the wound healing responses to endodontic surgery.
