RESUMO
Systemic photobiomodulation (PBM) of the blood or over blood vessels has been associated with bio-stimulating, vasodilating, and anti-inflammatory properties. This treatment modality has been used for modulating inflammatory processes, tissue repair, atherosclerosis, and systemic arterial hypertension, and is described more often in clinical studies than experimental models. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a literature review regarding the effect of systemic PBM involving the intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) or non-invasive vascular photobiomodulation (VPBM) using low-level laser (LLL) in experimental (animal) models. The PubMed/MEDLINE®, Scopus, SPIE Digital Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for articles on the use of VPBM with LLL in animal models. Nine original articles met the inclusion criteria and were critically evaluated. The variables of interest were the dosimetric laser parameters, different methods for delivering energy, and the main results. The use laser in the red spectrum was more prevalent and VPBM (non-invasive) predominated over ILIB (invasive). No standardization was found in the dosimetric parameters. However, the studies showed the positive effects of VPBM on arterial pressure and blood circulation, the positive effects of ILIB on blood composition and hematological markers, as well as positive effects of both forms of systemic PBM (ILIB and VPBM) on the tissue repair process. In conclusion, the studies evaluated in the present review showed that the use of systemic PBM with ILIB or non-invasive VPBM induced positive effects, modulating metabolic conditions and tissue repair. However, there is a need for standardization in the dosimetric parameters for the different conditions and processes evaluated using experimental models.

The purpose of this study was to analyze in vitro the biological effects on human dental pulp stem cells triggered in response to substances leached or dissolved from two experimental cements for dental pulp capping. The experimental materials, based on extracts from Copaifera reticulata Ducke (COP), were compared to calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), materials commonly used for direct dental pulp capping in restorative dentistry. For this, human dental pulp stem cells were exposed to COP associated or not with Ca(OH)2 or MTA. Cell cytocompatibility, migration, and differentiation (mineralized nodule formation (Alizarin red assay) and gene expression (RT-qPCR) of OCN, DSPP, and HSP-27 (genes regulated in biomineralization events)) were evaluated. The results showed that the association of COP reduced the cytotoxicity of Ca(OH)2. Upregulations of the OCN, DSPP, and HSP-27 genes were observed in response to the association of COP to MTA, and the DSPP and HSP-27 genes were upregulated in the Ca(OH)2 + COP group. In up to 24 h, cell migration was significantly enhanced in the MTA + COP and Ca(OH)2 + COP groups. In conclusion, the combination of COP with the currently used materials for dental pulp capping [Ca(OH)2 and MTA] improved the cell activities related to pulp repair (i.e., cytocompatibility, differentiation, mineralization, and migration) including a protective effect against the cytotoxicity of Ca(OH)2.

Treatments for dentine hypersensitivity (DH) may produce positive effects, though do not have lasting results. We investigated the reparative potential of stem cells derived from deciduous teeth (SHEDs) in response to components delivered from substances used in the treatment of the DH, associated or not to laser phototherapy (LPT), to stimulate dentine formation. SHEDs were submitted to substances delivered from a laboratorial P-rich bioactive glass [57SiO2 -26CaO-17P2 O5 (wt %)] or a commercially available desensitizer (Gluma® Desensitizer), associated (or not) to LPT (InGAlP diode laser, 660 nm, 0.028 cm2 , 20 mW, 5 J/cm2 , 7 s, contact mode). Biomaterial characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and the particle size was evaluated by dynamic light scattering. SHEDs proliferation and differentiation were analyzed by MTT and Alizarin Red staining, respectively. The conditioned media used in these tests were evaluated regarding their pH and the ionic concentration changes due to ions leached from the bioactive glass (BG). BG majority presented a non-crystalline solid structure and mixed particle sizes characterized by the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Cultures treated with BG alone or in association to LPT showed improved cell growth in relation to Gluma® (p < 0.05). Gluma® was cytotoxic in all tested conditions, regardless irradiated or not. BG associated to LPT induced intense mineral matrix formation. In conclusion, BG releases ionic dissolution products able to promote SHEDs differentiation. BG associated to LPT improves SHEDs proliferation and differentiation in vitro, and may be a promise therapeutic approach for the DH treatment. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of laser phototherapy (LPT) in the prevention and/or treatment of oral mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; Eurofarma, São Paulo, Brazil) in hamsters. Ninety-six hamsters were divided into four groups (n = 24): Control (no treatment); Preventive [LPT from day (D) D-5 to D+5]; Therapeutic (LPT from D+5 to D+15); and Combined (preventive plus therapeutic LPT from D-5 to D+15). The animals received an intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU on Days 0 and 2. The pouch mucosa was scratched on Days 3 and 4. The irradiation parameters were: indium-gallium-aluminum-phosphide (InGaAlP) diode laser (MM Optics, São Carlos, Brazil) (660 nm), beam area of 0.036 cm2, 40 mW, 1.11 W/cm2, 6.6 J/cm2, power density applied daily of 39.6 J/cm2, in punctual mode (six points and six seconds per point) and contact mode, one application per day. The animals were sacrificed on Days 0, 5, 10 and 15 (n = 6) and weighed, and the pouch mucosa was removed for histopathological analysis. Clinical and corresponding histological scores were compared using ANOVA and Tukey's test (p ≤0.05). Similar weight losses ranging from 5% to 10% occurred in all groups. The therapeutic group had significantly lower clinical and histological scores than the other groups at Day 10. This study showed that positive effects on oral mucositis management were obtained only when LPT was applied in the therapeutic protocol (from D+5 to D+15 after chemotherapy).

A incidência da hipersensibilidade dentinária (HD) tem aumentado. Agentes dessensibilizantes como o Gluma Desensitizer® (Heraeus), ou os Biovidros, bem como tratamentos considerados bioestimuladores como a laser fototerapia (LPT) tem sido aplicados de forma isolada. Porém, esses tratamentos, embora produzam efeitos positivos, ainda não apresentam resultados duradouros. Objetivo: Investigar os efeitos de substâncias liberadas por materiais utilizados no tratamento da HD (Gluma e Biovidro), associadas ou não à LPT, sobre a sobrevivência, proliferação e diferenciação de células mesenquimais indiferenciadas de polpa dentária humana. Material e Métodos: O Gluma e o Biovidro foram aplicados às culturas celulares na forma de meios condicionados, segundo os grupos experimentais: Grupo 1 (G1) Controle; Grupo 2 (G2) Gluma; Grupo 3 (G3) Biovidro; Grupo 4 (G4) Gluma + LPT; Grupo 5 (G5) Biovidro + LPT. A LPT foi realizada com laser de diodo semi-condutor (InGaAlP, 660 nm, área do feixe de 0,028 cm2) no modo pontual e em contato, nos seguintes parâmetros: 20 mW, 5 J/cm2, 7 s, 0,14 J por ponto. No ensaio de sobrevivência e no de proliferação celular as culturas foram irradiadas ou não por duas vezes (uma imediatamente e outra 6 horas depois). A viabilidade celular foi acessada pelo ensaio de atividade mitocondrial (MTT) em 24, 48 e 72 horas após a aplicação dos meios experimentais. Para a análise de diferenciação celular as culturas foram tratadas da mesma forma, e foram irradiadas por 4 vezes (uma imediatamente e as demais em intervalos de 48 horas até 7 dias). A diferenciação foi observada pelo ensaio do Vermelho de Alizarina em 21 dias. Os dados de viabilidade celular, obtidos no mínimo em triplicata, foram tratados por ANOVA complementado pelo teste de Tukey (p 0,05). As imagens obtidas pelo ensaio de Vermelho de Alizarina foram analisadas qualitativamente
Resultados: Sobrevivência celular foi observada em todos os grupos experimentais. Culturas controle (G1) apresentaram crescimento significativo (p<0,05). Culturas tratadas com o Gluma (G2) diminuíram o número de células viáveis e quando irradiadas (G4) mantiveram esse número. Culturas tratadas com Biovidro (G3) mantiveram o número de células viáveis e apresentaram crescimento significativo quando irradiadas (G5; p<0,05). Culturas controle (G1), e aquelas tratadas com Biovidro (G3) e Biovidro seguido de irradiação (G5) apresentaram diferenciação com formação de nódulos mineralizados. Conclusão: Substâncias liberadas pelo agente dessensibilizante (Gluma) são citotóxicas e em longo prazo a LPT é capaz de minimizar estes efeitos citotóxicos. O Biovidro libera substâncias biocompatíveis que não interferem na diferenciação das células mesenquimais indiferenciadas da polpa dentária humana permitindo a mineralização da matriz extracelular. A LPT melhora a proliferação celular e a resposta dessas células ao Biovidro.
The incidence of Dentine Hypersensitivity (HD) has increased. Desensitizing agents such as Gluma Desensitizer® (Heraeus), or the Bioglasses, as well those considered biostimulatory treatments as the laser phototherapy (LPT) have been applied in an isolated manner. However, these treatments, although producing positive effects, do not have lasting results. Objective: To investigate the effects of substances leached from materials used in the treatment of HD (Gluma and Bioglass), associated or not to LPT, on the survival, proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from human dental pulp. Material and Methods: The Gluma and Bioglass were applied to cell cultures in the form of conditional medium, according to the experimental groups: Group 1 (G1) - Control; Group 2 (G2) - Gluma; Group 3 (G3) - Bioglass; Group 4 (G4) - Gluma + LPT; Group 5 (G5) - Bioglass + LPT. The LPT was performed with diode laser semi-conductor (InGAlP, 660 nm, spot beam size of 0.028 cm2) in punctual and contact mode, in the following parameters: 20 mW, 5 J/cm2, 7 s, 0.14 J per point. In the survival and in the cell proliferation assays the cell cultures were irradiated twice (an immediately and another 6 hours after) or not.
The cell viability was assessed by mitochondrial activity (MTT) assay of in 24, 48 and 72 hours after the application of experimental culture medium. For the analysis of cell differentiation the cell cultures were treated in the same way, and were irradiated by 4 times (one immediately and the other one at intervals of 48 hours up to 7 days). The differentiation was observed by testing the alizarin red in 21 days. The data of cellular viability, obtained at least in triplicate, were treated by ANOVA followed by the Tukey test (p 0.05). The images obtained by testing of Alizarin Red were qualitatively analyzed. Results: cell survival was observed in all experimental groups. Control cultures (G1) showed significant growth (p< 0.05). Cultures treated with Gluma (G2) decreased the number of viable cells and when irradiated (G4) maintained this number. Cultures treated with Bioglass (G3) maintained the number of viable cells and showed significant growth when irradiated (G5; p< 0.05). Control cultures (G1) and those treated with Bioglass (G3) and Bioglass followed by irradiation (G5) showed differentiation with formation of mineralized nodules. Conclusion: Substances leached from the desensitizing agent (Gluma) are cytotoxic and the LPT is able to minimize these cytotoxic effects. The Bioglass releases biocompatible substances that do not disturb the differentiation of mesenchymal cells allowing the mineralization of the extracellular matrix. The LPT improves the proliferation of these cells in response of these cells to this material.
