Evaluation of low intensity gallium arsenide diode laser influence on the healing of the oral mucosaltissue wounds of induced diabetes

ABSTRACT

This study was performed to evaluate and compare the effect of Gallium Arsenide diode laser [Ga-As laser] as an adjunct to wound healing in experimental induced diabetes in rats. It was conducted on sixty adult albino rats, all animals had undergone excising small biopsy of the oral mucosa, and then thirty rats were subjected to low intensity laser therapy while the remaining thirty rats were used as diabetic control. Animals were sacrificed after one week and two weeks intervals and specimens were collected for microscopic as well as immunohistochemical evaluation. The correlation between different methods of assessment assured the findings of this study that laser treated animals showed accelerated healing compared to non-lased animals
