RESUMO

This work was developed in order to evaluate microscoply the influence of gallium arsenate (Ga-As) diodo laser associated with chondroitin sulfate and chitosan on the healing process of the articular surface of the humeral head of dogs following experimental osteochondroplasty. Sixteen adult dogs were randomly allocated into four groups of four animals. All animals had the left humeral head injured by a surgical procedure (osteochondroplasty) and those from the TG were submitted to Ga-As diode laser sessions and received orally chondroitin sulfate and chitosan. In order to analyze microscopically the surgical injury the animals of the subgroups (C1, C2, C3, C4, T1, T2, T3 and T4) were killed on the 7th, 21st, 35th and 60th days after the surgery, respectively. The histological assessment revealed an increased vascularization, repairing potential and local osteogenesis, increase of the activity synthesis and keeping the cartilage matrix and better healing of the defect with fibrocartilage tissue of TG compared to those from CG, such findings were attributed to the physiotherapeutic effects of the Ga-As diode laser and chondroitin sulfate and chitosan.
