文摘

This study aimed to systematically assess the parameter-specific effects of the diode low-level laser on human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLFs). An extensive search was performed in major electronic databases including PubMed (1997), EMBASE (1947) and Web of Science (1956) and supplemented by hand search of reference lists and relevant laser journals for cell culture studies investigating the effect of diode low-level lasers on HGFs and HPDLFs published from January 1995 to December 2015. A total of 21 studies were included after screening 324 independent records, amongst which eight targeted HPDLFs and 13 focussed on HGFs. The diode low-level laser showed positive effects on promoting fibroblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation and modulating cellular inflammation via changes in gene expression and the release of growth factors, bone-remodelling markers or inflammatory mediators in a parameter-dependent manner. Repeated irradiations with wavelengths in the red and near-infrared range and at an energy density below 16 J/cm2 elicited favourable responses. However, considerable variations and weaknesses in the study designs and laser protocols limited the interstudy comparison and clinical transition. Current evidence showed that diode low-level lasers with adequate parameters stimulated the proliferation and modulated the inflammation of fibroblasts derived from human periodontal tissue. However, further in vitro studies with better designs and more appropriate study models and laser parameters are anticipated to provide sound evidence for clinical studies and practice.
