Abstract
Results suggest that epithelial healing after MMC is characterized by prolonged latency and decreased migration rate dependent on exposure time. Mitomycin C application did not result in increased loss of keratocytes, but it significantly delayed keratocyte repopulation in the anterior stroma. The use of MMC 0.2 μg/mL for 1 minute resulted in optimum modulation of healing characterized by reduced keratocyte activation with normal epithelial differentiation.
