RESUMO

Phototherapy with low intensity lasers has been used in dentistry in several oral pathologies for pain and healing control. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of phototherapy on human dental pulp fibroblasts growth using irradiations with whole energy delivered at once or fractioned. After the determination of the methodology, the FP5 cell line (1x 103 cells per well) was grown in 96 wells-microtritation plates (one for each experimental group) in nutritional deficit (medium supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum-fbs). Laser irradiation was carried out with an InGaAlP diode laser (?-685nm, 40 mW, spot size 0.028 cm2) using the punctual technique, at continuous mode and in contact. The whole energies were delivered in single irradiations of 0.12J (G1), 0.24J (G2), 0.36J (G3). These whole energies were fractioned in multiple irradiations of 0.12J done with 6h-intervals: two for G4 and three for G5. Non-irradiated groups of cell cultured in nutritional deficit (5% fbs; G6) and in nutritional regular condition (10 % fbs; G7) were used as negative and positive controls, respectively. The number of cells was indirectly assessed by measuring the cell mitochondrial activity 24 hours after the first irradiation. The data from four replicates were compared by the ANOVA complemented by the Tukeys test (p <= 0.05). There were significant differences amongst the groups. The positive control (G7) presented significantly higher number of cells when compared to the negative control (G6). This number was similar to those of multiple irradiation groups (G4 and G5). The single irradiated groups (G1 to G3) presented cell numbers significantly smaller than those of positive control and multiple irradiated groups. Under the conditions of this study it was concluded that multiple irradiations of fractioned energies improve the biostimulatory effect of the phototherapy with low intensity laser on the growth of dental pulp fibroblasts.
