ABSTRACT
A comparative study was made between the laser beam as a cutting tool and the scalpel. The experiment was conducted on 10 California rabbit's tongue. The incisions were made in both sides of the tongue parallel to the midline. In the laser wound the bleeding was less, inflammatory cells were minimum, healing was accelerated and re-epithelization was retarded to some extent compared with conventional scalpel incisions
