Abstract

Blood extracts containing platelet products are gaining popularity in promoting healing and pulp regeneration. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and gallium–aluminum–arsenide (GaAlAs) laser on proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). In this ex vivo study, hDPSCs isolated from impacted mandibular third molars were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium )DMEM(with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). After reaching the desired confluence, the cells were distributed into 4 groups, namely, control, PRP, laser, and PRP+laser for MTT assay and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test. In the PRP and PRP+laser groups, 10% PRP was added to each well on the plate. In the laser and PRP+laser groups, as for the proliferation test, laser irradiation was carried out for 45 s, while 135 s was designated for ALP test. After 1, 3, and 5 days, cell proliferation and ALP activity were assessed using MTT and ALP colorimetric assay, respectively. Two-way ANOVA was utilized to analyze data. In PRP and PRP+laser groups, cell proliferation and viability increased until day 3 but began to decline afterwards until the 5th day. In the laser group, the increase in proliferation and viability was observed till day 5 which was less than the control group. Laser and control groups exhibited significantly higher cell viability and proliferation than both PRP and PRP+laser groups. ALP activity was more pronounced in PRP+laser, PRP, and laser in descending order; however, all were less than that of the control group. Only in the control group did the ALP activity augment during the 5-day period. Laser irradiation could induce pulp cell proliferation and demonstrated a better performance than PRP in this regard.
