Blood coagulum filled socket.
Day 3 : tissue composition in extraction socket
author: Nikos Mardas | publisher: drg. Andreas Tjandra, Sp. Perio, FISID
On day 3, the socket is filled with a blood coagulum comprised of red blood cells and platelets trapped in a fibrin network together with isolated inflammatory cells such as neutrophils. Close to the bundle bone, mesenchymal cells, severed periodontal fibers, and dilated vascular units can be observed.
