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: Mucogingival surgery is performed to correct defects in the morphology, position, and/or amount of gingiva. Such post-operative complications as bleeding, swelling, and pain have often been documented after mucogingival surgery and are associated with discomfort after surgery. The low-intensity laser has been used to promote analgesia. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) not only accel...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Collagen type I elevation in cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth supports evidence that gingival fibroblasts play a decisive role in the manifestation of the phenotype. To analyze the role of gingival fibroblasts under more in vivo-like conditions, we evaluated the effect of cyclosporin A on collagen type I gene and protein expression in gingival overgrowth-derive...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the capability of soft laser light to penetrate blood, serum, gingival connective tissue and pure collagen type I. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 1:1 mixture of methylene blue (MB) and diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) was irradiated for 60 s with a diode laser (670 nm, 0.3 W) through blood, serum, gingival connective tissue and collagen type I (2 mm transillumination thickness). Th...

As it was reported earlier that isradipine, a Ca superset 2+ antagonist of dihydropyridine derivative class, caused regression of nifedipine-induced hyperplasia of human gingiva, experiments were performed to examine whether or not isradipine would solely inhibit the proliferation of cultured gingival fibroblasts. Normal human gingival fibroblast Gin-1 cells were used to test the impact of this...

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 ti...
