Wound Dressing in the Oral Cavity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Recent Clinical Techniques, Results, and Research in Wounds ((RCTRRW,volume 1))

Abstract

The oral cavity is composed of several types of tissues, varying in their characteristics. The teeth and the periodontium, the tongue, the palate, and the oral mucosa, alongside the rich flora and the continuous function throughout the day, provide a unique environment. The various procedures carried out in the oral cavity call for varied management to avoid loss of function, infection, and pain.

This chapter addresses the different types of wounds seen and treated in the oral cavity in relation to three subgroups: during/post-periodontal procedures, during post-extraction, and during/post-large-fragment resection or enucleation. Wound dressing materials and techniques related to each wound type are discussed with regard to mechanical defense, antiseptic treatment, and hemostatic treatment.
