Introduction: A substantial amount of evidence supports the positive effect of photobiomodulation on the proliferation and differentiation of various cell types. Several laser wavelengths have been used for wound healing improvement, and their actual outcome depends on the settings utilized during irradiation. However, the heterogeneous wavelengths and laser settings applied in the existing literature make it difficult to draw solid conclusions and comparison of different studies. The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the effects of various doses of laser energy, provided by an 810 nm diode, on human gingival fibroblasts in terms of proliferation and expression of growth factors with a pivotal role in wound healing. Methods: Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured on plastic tissue culture and irradiated with 2, 4, 6 or 12 J/cm2 . The effects of the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using an 810 nm diode laser on growth factor expression (EGF, TGF and VEGF) were evaluated by qPCR at 72 hours and 7 days after irradiation. Cell proliferation was evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 hours after LLLT using MTT assay. Results: Energy density of 12 J/cm2 provoked irradiated gingival fibroblasts to demonstrate significantly higher proliferation as well as higher gene expression of Col1, VEGF and EGF. LLLT positive effects were obvious up to 7 days post-irradiation. Conclusion: LLLT with 810 nm presents beneficial effects on proliferation, collagen production and growth factor expression in human gingival fibroblast cells. The application of 12 J/cm2 can be suggested as the optimal energy density for the enhancement of the wound healing process.

ABSTRACT Aims Our study focused on the fabrication of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and evaluated its influences on cell behaviors, including proliferation and migration. Materials and methods Platelet-rich fibrin was prepared from human peripheral blood according to Choukroun's method without using nonanticoagulant and foreign factors for platelet activation. Platelet-rich fibrin architecture was studied by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The investigation of PRF effects on human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) was conducted via PRF liquid extract. Cell proliferation was determined via the number of cells after a period of time incubated in PRF liquid extract. Influence of PRF liquid extract on the migration of hGFs was conducted via scratch wound healing assay. Results Histological staining reviewed the natural fibrin fiber matrix of PRF. Platelet-rich fibrin liquid extract promoted hGF proliferation after 7 days of cultivation. Human gingival fibroblast proliferation in PRF liquid extract was more superior than those cultured in complete medium. Platelet-rich fibrin was also found to be able to promote the migration of hGFs for up to 48 hours. Conclusion These results indicated that PRF is suitable to be used as autologous natural biomaterial in supporting wound healing and in further application in periodontitis treatments.

Abstract Objectives This study aims to evaluate the ability of tantalum-coated titanium to improve human gingival fibroblasts’ adhesion, viability, proliferation, migration performance, and the potential molecular mechanisms. Materials and methods Titanium plates were divided into two groups: (1) no coating (Ti, control), (2) Tantalum-coated titanium (Ta-coated Ti). All samples were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy, surface roughness, and hydrophilicity. Fibroblasts’ performance were analyzed by attached cell number at 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h, morphology at 1 h and 4 h, viability at 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, and 7 days, recovery after wounding at 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h. RT-PCR, western blot were applied to detect attachment-related genes’ expression and protein synthesis at 4 h and 24 h. Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis. Results Tantalum-coated titanium demonstrates a layer of homogeneously distributed nano-grains with mean diameter of 25.98 (± 14.75) nm. It was found that after tantalum deposition, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) adhesion, viability, proliferation, and migration were promoted in comparison to the control group. An upregulated level of Integrin β1 and FAK signaling was also detected, which might be the underlying mechanism. Conclusion In the present study, adhesion, viability, proliferation, migration of human gingival fibroblasts are promoted on tantalum-coated titanium, upregulated integrin β1 and FAK might contribute to its superior performance, indicating tantalum coating can be applied in transmucosal part of dental implant. Clinical significance Tantalum deposition on titanium surfaces can promote human gingival fibroblast adhesion, accordingly forming a well-organized soft tissue sealing and may contribute to a successful osseointegration.

Introduction: Garlic is a natural herb which can be used to be a good alternative treatment because cheap and safe. Garlic contains allicin which may has act antibacterial and antiinflammatory effect. Moreover, garlic extract has a good biocompatibility and can stimulate cell growth. Does garlic extract biocompatible and can stimulate cell growth that is seen from the proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts and how its work will be studied.Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the biocompatibility of garlic extract by observing the viability and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts in vitro.Methods: Biocompatibility test was conducted using serial concentration of garlic extract. Human gingival fibroblasts was seeded into 96 microwell plate with density of 2x103 cells, added with the fourteen serial concentration of garlic extract, and incubated in 37o C and 5% CO2for 24, 48 and 72 hours. MTT assay was used to analyze the viability and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts. Data were analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis and U Mann-Whitney test.Results: The result showed that in each time of observation, there is no significant difference in viability fibroblast (p>0,05), but there are significant difference between time of observation at 24, 48, and 72 hours (p <0.05).Data showed that all concentration of garlic extract increased the viability and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts.Conclusions: The ethanolic garlic extract has a good biocompatibility to human gingival fibroblasts culture cell and can stimulate the proliferation of human gingival fibroblast.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(4) 2018 p.556-561
