Chapter 87 - Part A: The Mouth Is a Battlefield: Why Oral Soft Tissue Never Behaves Like Skin
In this BoardsCast episode, we begin Tobias Chapter 87 – Soft Tissues of the Oral Cavity by tackling one of the most misunderstood principles in soft-tissue surgery:
Oral tissue is not skin with moisture — it is a completely different biological environment.
High bacterial load, constant motion, enzymatic activity, saliva chemistry, and poor mechanical advantage combine to create a battlefield where wounds behave unpredictably, repairs fail easily, and healing pathways diverge from any other region of the body.
You’ll learn:
- Why oral soft tissue heals fast but also breaks down easily
- How moisture, bacteria, and saliva enzymes change wound mechanics
- The difference between attached gingiva, mucosa, mucoperiosteum, and flaps
- Why tension is magnified in the mouth and destroys closures
- Critical anatomic structures (ducts, vessels, nerves) you must protect
- Blood supply patterns unique to oral tissue
- Board-relevant distinctions between oral vs cutaneous wound management
If you’ve ever wondered why an oral repair you thought was perfect fell apart in 24 hours, this episode explains exactly why.
