Abstract
1. It is generally assumed that oral blood flow is higher than that of skin, and invasive methods to measure blood flow support this view. 2. However, it was not known whether this finding would be confirmed by laser Doppler flowmetry, which is a noninvasive method to measure blood flow. 3. The purpose of this study was to compare blood flow in oral and skin regions of the rhesus monkey using laser Doppler flowmetry. 4. The results demonstrated that blood flow was significantly higher in oral regions as compared to facial skin (P < 0.05). 5. This finding is most likely related to the more abundant capillary supply in oral mucosa as compared to skin.
