ObjectiveThe biostimulation effects of low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) have been demonstrated recently. This study investigated the effects of LLLT on palatal mucoperiosteal wound healing and oxidative stress status in rats.Material and methodForty‐two male Wistar rats weighing 250–300 g were used in this study. A standardized full‐thickness wound was created in the mucoperiosteum of the hard palates of the rats using a 3‐mm‐diameter biopsy punch. Treatment using a GaAlAs laser at a wavelength of 940 nm and a dose of 10 J/cm2was initiated after surgery and repeated on the 2nd, 4th, and 6th days post‐surgery. Seven animals from each group were sacrificed on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days after surgery. Total antioxidant status and total oxidative status were measured in serum.ResultsThe histopathological findings revealed reduced numbers of inflammatory cells on the 7th day, increased mitotic activity of fibroblasts on the 14th and 21st day, and the same degree of collagen synthesis and vascularization on the days 7, 14, and 21 in the LLLT group compared with the control group. No significant differences in total oxidative status and total antioxidant status were observed between the groups.ConclusionLLLT using a GaAlAs laser at a wavelength of 940 nm and a dose of 10 J/cm2elicited a positive healing effect on palatal mucoperiosteal wounds likely via the induction of fibroblasts. The oxidative stress status was not affected by LLLT.
