Abstract:This in vitro study sought to assess the effect of repetitive PBMT on the viability of fibroblasts following aPDT with indocyanine green (ICG). In this in vitro experimental study, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were obtained and incubated in a culture medium. After reaching 10 000 cells cm À2 , the cells were divided into five groups of control, aPDT with ICG and 808 nm (energy density of 24 J cm À2 ), PBMT immediately after aPDT, PBMT with 660 nm (energy density of 7.2 J cm À2 ) immediately and 24 h after… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
