Conduct a MEDLINE search for periodontal wound healing times. Include reasons related to the biology of wound healing and the TYPE of evaluation you would be doing at that timeframe. (i.e. visual, probing, radiograph etc). Briefly, but thoroughly discuss what you would consider to be optimal time for evaluating the results of:
• ORAL HYGIENE/SELF CARE
• DEBRIDEMENT/ROOT PLANING/CURETTAGE
• PERIODONTAL SURGERY
• REGENERATIVE PROCEDURES for NEW BONE
