| Abstract | ||
| Open wounds have lost the barrier that protects tissues from bacterial invasion and allow for the escape of vital fluids. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the enhancing of therapeutic effect of Low Level Laser (LLL) and chitosan on the acceleration of open wound healing. Forty two adult rabbits were used. They divided into three equal groups (I, II and III). Wound was produced at the dorsal region by remove all thickness of skin at width of 3.5cm and of length 4 cm. Group I was left without treatment, while chitosan powder and laser therapy were used in group II and III respectively. Results of two groups were compared with control group. Histpathologicl results at the period of 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post operation reflected the presence of large number of fibroblast with formation of new blood vessels, also the collagen fiber become dense and regular in 14 days post operation in irradiated groups. In 21days there was formation of new and normal epidermal closed the rupture area of III group. | ||
