| Abstract | ||
| Aim: this study aims to evaluate the effect of sesame oil extract on skin healing clinically by measuring wound contraction and histologically by measuring epithelial thickness and vascularization. Method: Twenty-eight male albino rats were subjected to general anesthesia, excisional wound was induced below the shoulder blades, then animals were divided into two groups: 1. Control group (cont.): fourteen rats were left to heal normally 2. Sesame oil group (SO): fourteen rats were treated with oil extract of sesamum indicum diary. Scarification was done in two periods: 7 and 14 days. Wounds were examined clinically and histologically. Results: wounds treated with sesame oil showed significant faster wound contraction. The epithelial thickness and vascularization were significantly higher in sesame oil group when compared with control group. Conclusion: treatment of wounds with sesame oil enhances wound healing and facilitate wound closure. | ||
