Granulation tissue formation and remodeling

Abstract

The aim of this review is to summarize the key biological processes involved in soft connective tissue wound healing particularly in the context of oral mucosa. In a broader sense, healing of the connective tissue is not a separate, self‐driven process, but occurs in a reciprocal interaction with other tissue components and cells, including the epithelium, vasculature and inflammatory cells, and these interactions will also be discussed when relevant.
