    Abstract:
    In order to verify the effects of CO2 laser on the palatine mucosa of rats, 15 animals were utilized. The animals were anaesthetized with thionembutal by intra-peritoneal injection and the palatine mucosa of each animal was irradiated with a single pulse of 10 W. The results showed that immediately after the irradiation of CO2 laser, the formation of small cavities is observed. The wound healing post operationem is gradually in 1 week. The region is totally occupied by neoformed connective tissue and epithelial cells. Numerous polymorphonuclear cells and fibroblasts may be seen between the neoformed collagen fibres.
