Parameter‐Tuned Pulsed Wave Photobiomodulation Enhances Stem Cells From Apical Papilla Differentiation: Evidence From Gene and Protein Analyses

This study examines the effects of pulsed wave photobiomodulation (pwPBM) on the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAP). Using 810 nm near‐infrared (NIR) light with 300 Hz pulses and a 30% duty cycle, pwPBM was applied at a total energy density of 750 mJ/cm2. Osteogenesis was evaluated through both in vitro and in vivo analyses. In vitro experiments demonstrated significant enhancement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, along with upregulation of key osteogenesis‐related genes and proteins, as confirmed by real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analyses. In vivo, histological assessments following SCAP transplantation revealed increased bone tissue formation, further corroborated by osteocalcin staining. These findings underscore the potential of pwPBM as an innovative and effective tool for dental tissue regeneration and engineering.
