Answer:

Second-intention healing

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of wound healing. Primary-intention and secondary intention healing. They both occur in four stages namely;Homeostasis,inflammation, proliferation and remodelling

In primary-intention healing, it occurs in wounds with dermal edges that are close together example wounds made by a scapel.

Healing by secondary intention occurs when the sides of the wound are not opposed that is, they are not surgically approximated, therefore healing must occur from the bottom of the wound upwards. That is by granulation, contraction, and epithelialization
