Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to characterize and quantitatively analyze an easily reproducible experimental model of rat oral mucosa subjected to a sequence of radiation doses and post-irradiation times using epithelial and connective tissue thickness and cytochrome oxidase activity as end-pints. The radiobiological behaviour of oral mucosa was compared to that of skin subjected to the same experimental conditions.
