The aim is to assess the effects of diode laser, povidone iodine alone, and their combination on infected wound healing in mice.
Utilized 40 male mice with infected (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and control wounds.
Divided into four groups: untreated control, laser treatment, povidone iodine, and combined treatment.
Measured wound dimensions and histopathological examination at 7th and 14th days post infection.
G2 with laser showed over 50% wound reduction and normal skin by day 14.
G3 with povidone iodine also showed healing but with slower progress than the laser group.
G4, combining both treatments, demonstrated effective infection control and complete epithelialization.
