β¦ Synopsis
Background and Objectives: There exist contradictory reports about low-intensity laser light-stimulated cell proliferation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wavelength on proliferation of cultured murine cells. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Proliferation of primary cell cultures was measured after irradiation with varying laser wavelengths. Results: Fibroblasts proliferated faster than endothelial cells in response to laser irradiation. Maximum cell proliferation occurred with 665 and 675 nm light, whereas 810 nm light was inhibitory to fibroblasts. Conclusions: These observations suggest that both wavelength and cell type influence the cell proliferation response to low-intensity laser irradiation.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also referred to as therapeutic laser, has been recommended for a wide array of clinical procedures, among which the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity. However, the mechanism that guides this process remains unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to
Fibroblasts and lymphocytes are the most widely used cells for studying the so-called biostimulative effect of low-power laser in vitro. In contrast, stimulation of cancer cells by laser light has not been investigated extensively. The present study attempted to evaluate whether or not human tumor c
