... contained five animals were silver sulfadiazine 1% cream was applied on wounds twice a day. Control group consisted of seven animals in which wounds were washed twice a day with saline dressings. The tested materials were put on wounds then covered with sterile plaster to cover the bandage dressing twice a day. Finally، wounds were assessed by histological study eight times every four days. Results from this experiment showed that activation of fibroblasts increased the formation of granulation tissue، and collagen fiber formation, decreased edema and dehiscence. It is can be concluded that honey accelerates healing of opened wounds in rabbits. Keywords : ‫أسٔت‬ ‫ع١ٍفشعٌٛفبد٠بص٠ٓ،‬ ‫ػغً،‬ ‫عشاص١ُ،‬ ‫اٌّفزٛؽخ،‬ ‫اٌغشٚػ‬ .
