چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate the morphological aspects of the healing of traumatic wounds in rats using low-power laser. METHODS Twenty four non isogenic, young adult male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) weighing between 200 and 300 g was used. The animals were randomly distributed into two groups: Control (GC) and Laser (GL), with 12 animals each. After shaving, anesthesia was performed in the dorsal region and then a surgical procedure using a scalpel was carried out to make the traumatic wound. GL received five sessions of laser therapy in consecutive days using the following laser parameters: wavelength 660 nm, power 100 mW, dose 10 J/cm2. The wounds were evaluated through measurement of the area and depth of the wound (MW) and histological analysis (HA). RESULTS When comparing the GC with the GL in MW there was a difference in area (p<0.001) and depth (p=0.003) measurement of the wounds in GL. The laser group presented more epithelization than GC (p=0.03). The other histological parameters were similar. CONCLUSION The healing of wounds in rats was improved with the use of the laser.

Pain reduction and surgical wound healing enhancement have several advantages. Wound healing is a complex and organized phenomenon. During this phenomenon, definite and harmonized processes such as: reconstruction, immigration parenchyma and connective tissue cells proliferation and re-construction of gingival connective tissue take place. Studies show that lower power laser (He-Ne) can induce ...
