The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of laser irradiation on calcified nodule formation in human dental pulp (HDP) cells. HDP cells were irradiated once with a Ga-Al-As laser for 5 and 10 min, and calcified nodule formation was determined by von Kossa staining. The laser irradiation increased the number of calcified nodules in a time-dependent manner. The activity of alkaline phosphatase and production of collagen and osteocalcin in conditioned medium were measured. Both were higher in the irradiated group than in the nonirradiated group. These results suggested that formation of calcified nodules in HDP cells, as well as in alkaline phosphatase activity, the production of collagen and osteocalcin were enhanced by laser irradiation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D015675 Osteocalcin Vitamin K-dependent calcium-binding protein synthesized by OSTEOBLASTS and found primarily in BONES. Serum osteocalcin measurements provide a noninvasive specific marker of bone metabolism. The protein contains three residues of the amino acid gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla), which, in the presence of CALCIUM, promotes binding to HYDROXYAPATITE and subsequent accumulation in BONE MATRIX.
