Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound enhances palatal mucosa wound healing in rats

Abstract

Our results suggest that the use of LIPUS on palatal excisional wounds was effective in promoting epithelial and connective tissue closure.

Diode laser for harvesting de‐epithelialized palatal graft in the treatment of gingival recession defects: a randomized clinical trial

“…Open palatal wound healing involves a dynamic series of processes, including blood clot deposition and angiogenesis (Wang et al 2015). To accelerate the healing process; antibiotics and mouthrinses (Kaigler et al 2011), haemostatic agents (Rossmann & Rees 1999, Yen et al 2007, Keceli et al 2015, ozonides (Patel et al 2012), and lowintensity pulse ultrasound (Maeda et al 2013) were introduced.…”

Evaluation of Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Effects on the Osteogenesis Potential of Demineralized Bone Matrix in Experimental Tibial Defect in Rabbits

“…In this study the effect of DBM in combination with LI-PUS treatment was investigated on tibial fracture healing in a rabbit model. Use of LIPUS for treatment of diseases was investigated in the last two decades and defined as an effective method in several studies (12)(13)(14). Due to hazardous effect of high intensity ultrasound (US) on osseous tissue and fracture healing, low intensity US was used in the present study (15).…”

Proline‐Rich Peptide Mimics Effects of Enamel Matrix Derivative on Rat Oral Mucosa Incisional Wound Healing

“…The present study assesses wound healing after a full‐thickness flap procedure on the palatal mucosa, and therefore reepithelialization and connective tissue organization might take longer to become reestablished. Other rat intraoral models based on the palatal mucosa have found longer healing times after a punch procedure, leaving an open wound to heal by secondary intention 30 , 31 . Generally, skin wound healing requires longer healing periods for punch procedures in pigs and mice 26 , 32 .…”

“…Other rat intraoral models based on the palatal mucosa have found longer healing times after a punch procedure, leaving an open wound to heal by secondary intention. 30,31 Generally, skin wound healing requires longer healing periods for punch procedures in pigs and mice. 26,32 This pattern of wound repair is also seen in humans, but it might require even longer healing times.…”
