Wound healing acceleration in inflammationphase of post-tooth extraction after aerobicand anaerobic exercise

Abstract

Background: Tooth extraction leads a wound healing that is expected to be physiologicallyhealed in a short time. Both aerobic and anaerobic physical exercises are scientifically provento enhance various biological functions as well as to accelerate the wound healing in oralmucosa. Aerobic exercise increases tissue oxygenation, accelerates the wound healing andthis is different to anaerobic exercise which is considered to produce more free radicals andinterferes the wound healing process. Purpose: To observe the differences of wound healing effectiveness in the inflammatory phaseafter tooth extraction based on the number of PMN and macrophage cells in Wistar rats (Rattusnorvegicus) that received aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Methods: Forty-two rats were divided into three groups: control group (K), aerobic exercisegroup (P1), and anaerobic exercise group (P2). In each group the number of PMN cells wascalculated one day after tooth extraction and the counting of the macrophage cells were per-formed on the other groups two days later. Data was analyzed statistically using Kruskal Wallis,Levene’s test, and proceed with Oneway Anova. Results: The highest number of PMN and macrophage cells was obtained in P1 group and thelowest results were in K group. The data between groups demonstrated significant differences
