Análises macro e microscópicas de enxertos cutâneos por semeadura após laserterapia de baixa intensidade

Abstract

Objective: To observe the effects of low intensity laser therapy in inflammation, wound healing and epithelialization of island skin grafts. Methods: Twenty rats were subjected to this grafting technique and divided subsequently into two equal groups, one treated with laser and the other control. Results: there was less inflammation, faster healing, epithelialization and keratinization in the laser-treated animals when compared to the untreated. Conclusion: Low intensity laser therapy is helpful to island skin grafting.
