Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wounds that are not sutured and heal by contraction and epithelialization are healing by second intention. First intention involves the edges of a wound being neatly approximated and sutured together for primary closure. Third intention refers to delayed primary closure where a wound is left open initially and then closed several days later. Primary closure is another term for first intention healing.
