Abstract

Introduction: Wound healing is a dynamic process that involves multiple cellular elements with the purpose of restoring the functionality of the injured tissue. Many factors can interfere with this process, making it complex. Laser and microcurrent are therapeutic strategies that optimize the repair process, but have been studied in isolation. Objective: To investigate the efficacy of combining phototherapy (laser, GaAlAs, λ 656±5 nm) with electrotherapy (microcurrent) on second intention healing in rats. Methods: We used 15 rats with 8 mm in diameter lesions in the right dorsal. The rats were divided into three groups (n = 5): the CG (control group), G2 (laser+30μA) and G3 (laser +160μA). For histopathological analysis p ≤ 0.05 was determined. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that the area of collagen was statistically higher in the treated groups (G2 and G3) compared with the control group. Conclusion: A combination of methods induces increased collagen in the initial phase of tissue repair.
