Objectives: To evaluate the effects of topical applications of porcine acellular urinary bladder matrix (AUBM) and Centella asiatica extract (CAE) on the healing of tongue wounds in a rat model.
Materials And Methods: Wounds were made in the tongue using a punch tool in 64 male Sprague-Dawley rats, randomized into four groups (n = 16 per group): group 1 (control), group 2 (CAE), group 3 (AUBM mixed with orabase), and group 4 (orabase). No product was applied in group 1 and groups 2-4 received three daily topical applications.
