For a better understanding of the clinical effects obtained with lasers of low power on oral wounds, an in vitro study was conducted on human fibroblasts obtained from a primary gingival culture in order to evaluate the effect of one or several irradiations obtained with a Helium-neon laser (632.8 nm, 10 mW). An irradiation of 10 minutes (1.2J/cm2) induced a growth acceleration of the cellular population compared to a non-irradiated control population. The greatest effect was obtained four days after treatment. Furthermore, if the cells were submitted to repeated irradiations every four days, the cellular divisions increased after each treatment. A careful interpretation of these in vitro results on healing time of oral wounds in vivo would suggest that it may be due partly to a recycling actin of low power lasers on resting cells.

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.

D006371 Helium A noble gas with the atomic symbol He, atomic number 2, and atomic weight 4.003. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is not combustible and does not support combustion. It was first detected in the sun and is now obtained from natural gas. Medically it is used as a diluent for other gases, being especially useful with oxygen in the treatment of certain cases of respiratory obstruction, and as a vehicle for general anesthetics.
