To assess the wound-healing effects of 532 nm green laser and povidone-iodine therapies.
Used Wistar rats divided into three treatment groups: povidone-iodine only, laser only, and combined treatment.
Created full-thickness excisional wounds measuring 1.5 × 1.5 cm2.
Administered three 5-minute laser exposures at 15-minute intervals and measured wound closure over 14 days.
Combined treatment reached 75% wound contraction by Day 14, compared to 70% with laser only and 65% with povidone-iodine only.
Histology showed better re-epithelialization and greater collagen deposition in combined group.
