Hi Nick
I have just done a project looking at the effects of US on healing. there
are definite studies that show that the early stages of healing are promoted
by US and that it improves the strength of wounds. there is also
inconclusive research that shows that US given within 8 hours post
operatively after tooth extraction reduces swelling.
included is my reference list for my project. you should find something
useful there
