Trombelli and coworkers monitored the healing of human extraction sockets for a 6-month period and presented a semi-quantitative analysis of tissues and cell populations involved in various stages of socket healing. They showed that granulation tissue was present in comparatively large amounts in the early phases of socket healing. At 6 to 8 weeks, the granulation tissue was replaced with a provisional connective tissue matrix and woven bone.
