Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the desired type of healing in periodontal wound?
A
Junctional epithelium
B
periodontal ligament
C
alveolar bone
D
cementum
E
new attachment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In periodontal surgery, the wound healing pattern is largely divided into two types: primary and secondary healing [22]. Primary healing is a proper procedure for wound healing, which is performed when the gingival tissue is perfectly replaced or closely approximated in the same position pre-and post-operatively.

Detailed explanation-2: -New attachment involves the regeneration of principal fibers and the insertion of these fibers into newly formed cementum on a root surface which has previously been exposed to a perio-dontal pocket.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main events of periodontal wound healing are completed within two to three weeks of wound closure, followed by tissue maturation and remodelling [4].

Detailed explanation-4: -Healing: In the healing phase after the completion of SRP, the gums will ideally begin to tighten, shrinking the periodontal pockets you have. Swelling, redness and inflammation should also resolve. As things heal, this tissue tightening/healing may expose more of your roots than you are accustomed to seeing.

Detailed explanation-5: -The periodontal ligament, which is often abbreviated as the PDL, is a group of specialized connective tissue fibers that attach the tooth to the alveolar bone. The PDL inserts into root cementum on one side and onto alveolar bone on the other.
