Microvascular Response in the Periosteum Following Mucoperiosteal Flap Surgery in Dogs: 3‐Dimensional Observation of an Angiogenic Process

Abstract

After mucoperiosteal flap elevation, the periosteal vasculature exhibited potent blood vessel-forming activity through various angiogenic mechanisms and through repair activity. Our results provide a 3-dimensional clarification that the periosteal vascular plexus has an important role in the healing process after flap surgery.
