ABSTRACT
Novel methods and technologies that improve mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation and differentiation properties are required to increase their clinical efficacy. Photobiomodulation (PBM) and low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) are two strategies that can be used to enhance the regenerative properties of dental MSCs. This study evaluated the cytocompatibility and osteo/odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp, periodontal ligament, and gingival MSCs after stimulation by either PBM or LIPUS and their combined effect. MTT assay, cell migration assay, osteo/odontogenic differentiation by AR staining and ALP activity, and expression of osteo/odontogenic markers (OPG, OC, RUNX2, DSPP, DMP1) by RT-qPCR were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA, followed by Tukey's post hoc test, with a p-value of less than 0.05 considered significant. The results showed that combined stimulation by PBM and LIPUS resulted in significantly the highest viability of MSCs, the fastest migration, the most dense AR staining, the most increased ALP activity, and the most elevated levels of osteogenic and odontogenic markers. The synergetic stimulation of PBM and LIPUS can be utilized in cell-based regenerative approaches to promote the properties of dental MSCs.
