Wound Healing: Process, Phases, and Promoting

Cutaneous wound healing is a complex process involving blood clotting, inflammation, new tissue formation and finally tissue remodelling. In this book, the authors gather and present topical research in the study of the wound healing process and phases. Topics discussed include biological healing potential in periodontal bone defects; oxygen-related inflammatory wound phenotypes; extracellular matrix molecules in skin wound repair; regulation of wound healing by growth factors and cytokines; low level laser therapy in the bone healing process; wound repair phases and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic wound healing..
