The aim of this study was to verify the effects of laser therapy performed with Ga-Al-As Diode Lasers (780 nm, 2500 mW) on human cartilage cells in vitro. The cartilage sample used for the biostimulation treatment was taken from the right knee of a 19-year-old patient. After the chondrocytes were isolated and suspended for cultivation, the cultures were incubated for 10 days. The cultures were ...

Laser biostimulation has been found effective in treatment of wound healing and inflammatory conditions. The nature and characteristics of laser light is different from natural light and of conventional light sources. Specifics of the laser include spectral coherence, temporal coherence and spatial coherence [1,2]. In addition, some lasers emit polarized photons and parallel beam. Laser with th...

Lasers are a treatment choice that appeals to patients. Early research suggests that laser therapy may have a role in hastening wound healing. Attempts have been made to use helium neon, CO2, and KTP lasers in encouraging wound healing in diabetics. We will review the English literature related to laser use in diabetic wound healing and discuss the concept of the use of nondestructive lasers fo...

low-intensity laser therapy (lilt) is defined to supply direct biostimulative light energy to the cells. while several studies have demonstrated that lilt has stimulating effects on bone cells and can accelerate the repair process of the bone, others reported delayed fracture healing or no effects after lilt. the aim of this article was to review the studies evaluating the biomodulation effects...

background: numerous in vitro reports suggest that low level laser therapy (lllt) affects cellular processes by biostimulation, however most of them emphasize on using visible light lasers which have low penetration. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of infrared laser light (which is more useful in clinic because of its higher penetration) on secretion of fibroblast growth facto...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to investigate whether laser biostimulation starting on the first day after surgery of the brachial plexus or peripheral nerves has a positive therapeutic effect on wound healing. MATERIAL AND METHODS Surgical procedures were carried out on 44 male Wistar rats. The animals were divided into a control group (Group 1), where the surgical wounds were allowed t...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Although intentional replantation for extraoral treatment is a solution for complicated endodontic cases, it is accompanied with risk of root resorption which is most likely due to extraction trauma and infected remnants. Laser therapies have long been proved for bactericidal and biostimulation effects. In the present case, a pulpitis combined severe periodontal destruction m...

Laser therapy may constitute an efficient alternative to surgical treatment. Based on the research, data and experience of many practitioners, we can enumerate the potential advantages of laser therapy, such as bactericidal, detoxification and homeostatic effects and biostimulation. Laser treatment facilitates the eradication of bacteria and better wound healing [4,5]. It is also easy to use, p...

High energy lasers have extensive applications in the field of surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, medicine and oncology. The utility of low energy lasers for biostimulation, immune response mediation and wound healing is of relatively recent interest. The current communication illustrates our experience with low energy laser (He-Ne laser) as an adjunct to the conventional modes of treatment f...
