Reepithelisation of the mucosa became obvious especially at day seven after surgery in all groups, and a tendency of advanced reepithelisation was seen at this time point in the IGF-I-treated group. In this group the increase of reepithelisation became significant already in between days one and three and three and seven, whereas a significant difference in the control groups not until day seven after surgery occurred.
