Effect of 830 nm Laser Phototherapy on Osteoblasts Grown <i>In Vitro</i> on Biosilicate ^® Scaffolds

Abstract

Despite successful seeding of bioscaffolds with osteoblasts, laser phototherapy resulted in a reduction in cell growth compared to non-irradiated controls. Future research combining laser phototherapy and glass-ceramic scaffolds should take into account possible interactions of the laser with matrix compounds.
