Studies reported in the OMS literature of the last 20 years that applied scalesindexes to monitor the wound healing process were reviewed. A further index the Early Healing Index EHI was developed by Wachtel et al. The incidence of secondary healing.
Results Thirty vertical releasing incisions were assessed in 21 patients. Early stage healing is that of a foreign body response and is influenced by implant stability and implant surface morphology and material. At 24 hours after. A wound with very poor healing receives a score of 1 whereas excellent healing receives a score of 5. Follow-up was performed until complete epithelialization was achievedResultsSingle-incision techniques showed significantly improved early healing over trap-door approaches. 10 classifying healing in 5 degrees.
Each wound can be scored from 1 very poor healing to 5 excellent healing.
Specifically the mean EHI was 250 114 for single-incision techniques as compared to 333 130 for trap door. Primary outcome parameters were early wound healing index EWH flap dehiscence membrane exposure suppuration and abscess formation during the first 6 weeks.
