Abstract

Haruan is Kalimantan's indigenous fish which has the potency to accelerate wound healing. Haruan extract has
substantial properties such as albumin, Zn,Cu, and Feto accelerate wound healing. The purpose of this study is to assess
the effect of haruan extract on wistar rats buccal mucosa wound healing on day 1, 3, 5, and 7 histopathologically. This
study was purely experimental with pretest-posttest with control group design. Samples were divided into 4 treatment
groups, haruan extract 25%, 50%, 100% treatment groups and aquadest treatment group as negative control, each
treatment wasperformed for 7 days. Neocapillariescount reached its peak on day 5. Mean neocapillaries scoring of each
group was 12, 16.5, 18.5, 6 respectively. Two way Anova and post hoc LSD tests presented a significant difference
between negative control and haruan extract groups. In conclusion, haruan extract treatment significantly increased
neocapillaries count in wound healing process.
