Abstract
This study was performed to provide histologic information on the process of early wound healing over surgically exposed alveolar bone. In the course of the study, an attempt was made to locate the source of the granulation tissue and epithelium in such wounds, to trace the mechanism of healing itself, and to provide a timetable for the underlying histologic changes which occur in early healing. In addition, an explanation of the variation in healing rate between maxilla and mandible was attempted. An outline of the healing process resulting when the periosteum is left covering the bone was also planned.
The study was limited to the healing which takes place during the first three weeks after surgery. This is the period in which full granulation of the wound usually occurs as observed in a pilot dog that was operated on to standardize the surgical procedure.
