OBTAINING A WOUND-HEALING EFFECT WHEN USING PHOTON THERAPY IN THE EXPERIMENT by T.M. Kanishyna, L.I. Shkilniak

“…In the second group (photon physiotherapeutic effect was used) there was a less pronounced inflammatory cell infiltrate with fewer polymorphonuclear leukocytes in biopsies, a larger number of fibroblasts on the 3rd and 7th day of observation and faster appearance of fibrous structures in the granules. Epithelialization of the postextraction wound began earlier in group II, and the process of angiogenesis was also more active. …”
