Background  Recent investigations show that both proliferation and secretion of macromolecules by cells can be regulated by low level laser therapy (LLLT). The aim of this study was to determine whether LLLT could induce a bio-stimulatory effects on human gingival fibroblasts (HGF3-PI 53). Therefore, the effect of laser irradiation on human gingival cell proliferation and collagen type I gene ...

Introduction: Low-energy helium-neon (He-Ne) laser beam lightis used in combination with sodium hypochlorite (Na2HOCl3) for clinical purposes. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and sodium hypochlorite on the calf thymus double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ctdsDNA) molecule.  Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, ctdsDNA...

plant cell cultures could be used as an important tool for biochemical production, ranging from natural pigments to pharmaceutical products. anthocyanin is affected by a variety of factors. light, an important plant environmental factor, influences the anthocyanin production in vegetative plant tissues. here, we have investigated the influence of the blue laser-diode (bld) and red laser-he ne (...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE High-power laser has recently become a physical stimulus for bone regeneration. Little is known about how high-power laser irradiation affects osteoblast differentiation. This study investigated osteoblast responses to high-power laser and combined irradiation with BMP-2 treatment. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts were exposed to laser irrad...

Electronic absorption, florescence excitation and AFM studies of selected homogeneous solutions and thin films of mesotetrakis (parahydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP) (1), mesotetrakis (2, 3- dihydroxyphenyl) porphyrin 2, 3-OHPP) (2), mesotetrakis (3, 4-dihydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (3, 4-OHPP) (3) as well as Zn(II) derivative of 2, 3-OHPP (4) under UV lamp and green laser irradiation (532 nm) are ac...

introduction: the efficacy of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser for root debridement in comparison with curettes has been the subject of many recent investigations. considering the possibility of chemical and ultra-structural changes in root surfaces following laser irradiation, this study sought to assess the effects of scaling and root planing (srp) with curettes and er:yag ...

Laser irradiation parameters, especially the laser fluence and the number of pulses are very important factors affecting microstructures formation and improvement of the surface characteristics in different medical, electronic and the other industrial applications. Information about the fluence domain and the number of pulses for the formation of the structures is very important and determines ...

background: laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (lllt) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). the tensile strength of radiated tissue by lllt is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation. objective: in this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic t...

Introduction. This study was designed to investigate the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on experimental allergic rhinitis (AR) models induced by ovalbumin. Materials and Methods. AR was induced by 1% ovalbumin in mice. Twenty-four mice were divided into 4 groups: normal, control, low, and high dose irradiation. Low and high dose LLLT were irradiated once a day for 7 days. Total IgE, ...
