Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To determine whether laser light can improve healing of skin wounds by killing wound bacteria while simultaneously accelerating host tissue activity.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Wounds on the rat dorsum were irradiated or sham-irradiated three times weekly from days 1 to 19 using 635 or 808 nm diode lasers at 1 or 20 J/cm(2). Wound area and bacterial growth were evaluated three times weekly. Histological analysis was performed on days 8 and 19. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on day 19.
RESULTS:Wounds that were irradiated using 635 nm light at 1 J/cm(2) healed similarly to controls. Wounds that were irradiated using 808 nm (1 and 20 J/cm(2), P journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn journal_volume pub_type
