Lasers are common in many fields of health but can they really be useful for coaxing teeth into repairs? These researchers believe so. This article highlights recent studies developed by researchers. They have discovered that low level lasers can be used to promote new tissue growth and spark new cell development in the human body. Learn more in the article below.
Until a molecule comes along and activates it, TGF-β1 exists in a standby mode. What the team discovered is a domino effect that begins when the laser light induces reactive oxygen species (ROS), and these in turn activate the TGF-β1 complex, which then triggers the stem cells to differentiate into dentin. ROS are chemically active oxygen-containing molecules that play a key role in many cell functions. The discovery is significant because it confirms scientifically what has always been believed from reported anecdotes about low-level light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation.
