Fibrin linkage: a precursor for new attachment.

A M Polson, M P Proye

    Journal of Periodontology
    |March 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Connective tissue attachment to tooth roots involves a healing sequence where fibrin initially links to the root surface. Collagen fibers then replace the fibrin, indicating fibrin

    Area of Science:

    • Periodontology
    • Wound Healing
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Connective tissue attachment to root surfaces is crucial for periodontal health.
    • Previous research suggests a sequential healing process involving fibrin and collagen.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To histologically differentiate fibrin and collagen during root surface healing.
    • To substantiate the hypothesis of a chronologic healing sequence in connective tissue attachment.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgically denuded and reimplanted teeth in squirrel monkeys.
    • Topical citric acid application on some root surfaces.
    • Histological analysis using Mallory's phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin staining at 1, 3, 7, and 21 days.

    Main Results:

    • Epithelium migrated rapidly on non-acid-treated surfaces but not on citric acid-treated surfaces.
    • Fibrin network attached to root surfaces at early healing stages (1-3 days).
    • Collagen fibers replaced fibrin by 7-21 days, indicating connective tissue repopulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Collagen fiber attachment to the root surface is preceded by fibrin linkage.
    • Fibrin linkage is an initial event in the root surface wound healing response.
    • Citric acid treatment inhibits epithelial migration and may influence healing outcomes.
