Effect of erbium yttrium aluminium garnet laser dentin conditioning on dental pulp stem cells viability.
Heliyon 2024 March 16
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effect of dentin conditioning by subablative Er:YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) viability.
METHODS: For this in-vitro experimental study, root fragments were longitudinally hemisected after decoronation of single-rooted extracted teeth and preparation of root canals. Prepared samples were randomly assigned to 2 experimental groups (n = 17) as follows; 1) laser conditioning: irradiation with Er:YAG laser beams (2940 nm, 50 mJ per pulse, 20 Hz) 2) Chemical conditioning: 1.5% NaOCl, followed by phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), 17% EDTA, followed by PBS as a final rinse. The samples were ultraviolet-sterilized, and DPSCs were seeded on the samples. MTT assay was performed after 1, 4 and 7 days of incubation to assess the cell viability (n = 5/group per day). Also, after 7 days, two samples of each group underwent SEM (scanning electron microscope) analysis. Statistical analysis was done using independent t -test, one-way ANOVA and two-way ANOVA at a significance level of 0.05.
RESULTS: Laser irradiated samples exhibited significantly higher cell viability of DPSCs on days 4 (p < 0.0001) and 7 (p < 0.0001), unlike day 1 (p = 0.131). SEM photomicrographs revealed that Er:YAG laser performed much better smear layer removal and created surface irregularities. Several different cell morphologies were observable on the laser-treated samples, which cells with cytoplasmic extensions being the most frequent.
CONCLUSIONS: Dentin conditioning by Er:YAG laser enhances DPSCs viability and can be a valuable modality for conditioning dentin to perform regenerative endodontic procedures. Further clinical studies are suggested.
