Background:
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process and a thorough knowledge of the basics of physiology of wound healing is a must to implement principles of chronic wound care. Understanding wound healing at multiple levels-biochemical, physiologic, cellular and molecular provides the surgeon with a framework for basing clinical decisions aimed at optimizing the healing response.
Objective:
This review article describes the classification of wounds and aims to highlight the fundamentals of wound repair, enumerating the dressings used commonly and also, the newer concepts of wound healing.
Materials And Methods:
Search engines and medical databases were tapped to gather information on the subject. Search words employed were "Wounds", "wounds in OSMF", "Wound healing", "Repair", "Dressings in OMFS".
Results:
The search resulted in total of 153 articles which we reviewed to add to the literature the concepts of wound healing and to throw some light on recent advances in wound care.
Conclusions:
Wound healing remains a challenging clinical problem and correct, efficient wound management is essential to positively influence the wound healing course and reduce potential complications.
