Aspectos gerais da cicatrização

Abstract

Healing is the process by which a specific wound is repaired, which may have been caused by different mechanisms, such as: cuts, trauma, burns, etc. The healing process involves four phases, namely: inflammation phase, fibroblast phase, maturation and remodeling. Traditionally, there are two forms of healing used in clinical care: healing by first intention, where the edges of the wound are brought together through sutures and healing by second intention, where new tissue is formed at the base of the wound.
