ABSTRACT
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate wound healing effects of Arnebia densiflora (Nordm.) Ledeb. root extracts on rat palatal mucosa.
Methods: A 10-mm full-thickness mucosal wounds were created on midline of rats’ palate by using scalpel. Inthe experimental groups, a ten percent extract of A. densiflora roots was topically applied once a day as ointment on the wounds. After wounding, tissue samples from palatal mucosa were harvested at 4, 7, 14 and 21 days and then evaluated histologically.
Results: It was observed that 10% A. densiflora root extract has progressive effects on wound healing in experimental groups.
Conclusions: This study suggests that A. densiflora root extract could be developed as a therapeutic agent for wound healing. (Eur J Dent 2009;3:96-99)
