An Experimental study on the effects of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the healing process of mandibular fracture of normal rats and streptozotocin-prduced diabetic rats

The main objectives of this study was to observe the effects of Hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the healing processes of mandibuar fracture of normal rats & streptozotocin - induced diabetic rats. Author used 120 rats (Sprague - Dawley Strain) dividing into controf (60) & experimental group (60) of normal & diabetic rats. Complete fracture was produced on the left mandibular body of 120 rats, rendered hyperbaric oxygen therapy (2 hrs, daily at 2.5 atm) on experimental group and observed effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy microscopically. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The experimental group of HBO in normal rats had the good effect until 6th week, especially the better effect at 3rd week, because of decrease of inflammatory cell infiltration, heavy proliferation of fibroblast & capillary and active callus formation. 2. The hyperbaric oxygen therapy in mandibular fracture of diabetic rats influenced especially on the healing process at 5th week, because there were much decrease of inflammatory cell infiltrations, heavy proliferation of fibroblast, capillary, osteoblasts, moderate fibrous callus formation, osteocastic activity and mild bony callus formation.
