Periodontal regeneration involves the composite action of cell, scaffolds and signaling molecules. There are numerous autologous sources of regenerative cells which are present close to the vicinity of the periodontally debilitated site, the primary one being the periodontal ligament stem cell, which is believed to have a key role in regeneration. Various methods can be harnessed to optimize and enhance the regenerative potential of PDLSCs such as the application of LASERs. In the last few years there have been various studies which have evaluated the effect of different types of LASERs on PDLSCs and the present review summarizes the photo-biomodulative activity of LASERs in general and its beneficial role in the stimulation of PDLSC specifically.
Introduction
Periodontitis is a disease primarily characterized by inflammation and an interplay of bacteria and endotoxins which impacts the soft and hard tissues of the periodontium. The disease leads to significant cellular damage and tissue loss which eventually culminates in bone loss (Hajishengallis, 2022; Zenobia and Darveau, 2022; Vitkov et al., 2023). The extent of hard and soft tissue loss determines the treatment strategies; however, mechanical debridement remains the cornerstone of periodontal treatment which turns the inflammatory state of the periodontium to a resolving state (Albeshri and Greenstein, 2022; Laleman et al., 2022). Periodontal treatment not only involves elimination of inflammatory and bacterial component from the diseased tooth supporting tissues, but also comprises of regeneration of deteriorated periodontal structures in amenable cases which serves as the bedrock to principles of tissue engineering that engages application of appropriate cells, growth factors and scaffolds Tavelli et al. (2022), Yi et al. (2022), Sopi et al. (2023).
Dental stem cells owing to their distinct stemness, migration, differentiation and immunological modulation properties, have been perceived as a potential agent for regeneration (Nagata et al., 2022; Sun et al., 2023). Stomatognathic stem cells are placed in different niches and they can be further categorized as dental and periodontal stem cells based on their location within the oral complex (Ponnaiyan et al., 2022; Alarcón-Apablaza et al., 2023). Recently, research shows that periodontal ligament stem cells that are mesenchymal in nature and located within the periodontal ligament, offers substantial periodontal regeneration in comparison to the regenerative outputs offered by other kinds of stem cells (Li et al., 2020; Dubuc et al., 2022; Mendoza et al., 2023).
The regenerative output of PDLSCs is further enhanced by the adjuvant application of LASERs as evidenced by literature (Mylona et al., 2022; L; Wang et al., 2022). Hence, the current review aims to summarize the additional use of LASERs in regenerative and stem cell therapy in periodontics.
Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs)
PDLSCs are formed from ecto-mesenchymal cells that originate from the neural crest and are isolated from middle third of the root surface after extraction of permanent teeth (T. Wang et al., 2022). Root surface derived PDLSCs (r-PDLSCs) are stem cells isolated from root surface, while alveolar socket derived PDLSCs (a-PDLSCs) are stem cells separated from tissue taken from the bone surface (Rad et al., 2022). In comparison to r-PDLSCs, it has been found that a-PDLSCs maintain a higher proliferative capability as well as strong osteogenic and adipogenic potential (Nagata et al., 2022). PDLSCs can differentiate into peripheral nerves, blood vessels, alveolar bone, cementum and even periodontal ligament (Seo et al., 2004). It is interesting to know that PDLSCs phenotypically express various neural crest, embryonic and antigenic markers which contribute to its diverse multipotent differentiation characteristics (Iwayama et al., 2022). They express standard mesenchymal stem cells markers and are negative for hematopoietic markers (Song et al., 2023). Amongst embryonic markers they highly express Nanog, SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2, also known as SOX2, SSEA4 (Stage specific embryonic Antigen) and express October 4 (Octamer) and Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) in lower levels (Alves et al., 2023; Takahashi et al., 2023). However, the expression levels of these markers are highly dependent on the environment in which the PDLSC is residing as inflammation affects stem cells and those cells in turn have immune-modulatory effect in an inflammatory milieu (Zhang et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2022).
The equilibrium between the pro-inflammatory response and the stemness of PDLSCs is a key factor in determining whether tissue integrity and homeostasis is maintained or if disease progression occurs (Zhao et al., 2022). It has been observed that long-term stimulation of PDLSCs by P. gingivalis lipo-polysaccharide (LPS) resulted in an increase in cellular cytokine production and LPS also prevents the development of osteoblasts by impairing ALP activity and mineral synthesis in PDLSCs (Chen et al., 2021; Xu et al., 2023).
Conversely PDLSCs also have an immunomodulatory influence on periodontal regeneration (Andrukhov et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2022). PDLSCs also affect the innate immune response by increasing neutrophil proliferation and decreasing their capacity to undergo apoptosis. PDLSCs also promote CD-136, IL-10, and Arginase 1, which enhances the anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage phenotypic polarization in addition to inhibiting T cell proliferation (Shin et al., 2017; Li et al., 2022). These evidences suggest that, to harness the maximum regenerative potential of PDLSCs, it is imperative to maintain the state of controlled inflammation or homeostasis which favors repair which is possible only through the elimination of the pro-inflammatory components, bacteria and endotoxins via mechanical debridement thereby, declaring LASERs to be an adjunct to the mechanical therapy (Jiang et al., 2022; Lu et al., 2023).
LASERs
The LASER revolution in dentistry and the invention of ruby LASER by Theodore Maiman in 1960 has seen significant changes over the past few decades owing to advances and usability of LASERs in a multitude of dental and periodontal applications (Passanezi et al., 2015; Theodoro et al., 2021; Corbella et al., 2023). LASERs are clinically categorized into two types based on their wavelength: 1) a deeply penetrating type where the LASER light penetrates and scatters into the tissue deeply, such as the diode LASERs (810–980 nm) and neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) available for clinical application; and 2) a superficially absorbed type such are the erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) (2940 nm), carbon dioxide (CO2) (10,600 nm) and erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er, Cr:YSGG) (2780 nm) LASERs (Ohsugi et al., 2020; Fu and Wo, 2021).
When LASERs energy penetrates the tissue surface, it may be absorbed, dispersed, reflected, or transmitted to the cells in the vicinity and the amount of energy that is absorbed by the cells influences the therapeutic and photo-biomodulative property exhibited by the LASER (Glass, 2021; Lopes et al., 2022). Since the 20th Century, the photobiomodulative property of LASER has been discovered and this property has been harnessed for specific effect of LASERs on tissues and cells for achieving desired treatment outcomes (Arjmand et al., 2021). Photobiomodulation makes use of nonionizing light sources such as LASERs, light-emitting diodes and broad-spectrum light to encourage physiological changes and therapeutic effects which supra-adds to the stimulation of stem cells involved in the regeneration triad (Firoozi et al., 2022). The PBM property of LASER encompasses a wide array of properties such as the photothermal, photodynamic, bio stimulative, photo ablative, photo vaporolytic and photo plasmolytic properties which may alter the cellular dynamics of periodontal tissues when applied at different settings and for varying time periods (Glass, 2021; Parker et al., 2022).
Alternate and more compliant sources of light such as LASER and light-emitting diode (LED) sources emit a wide range of visible and infrared spectrum that are used in photo-biomodulation (PBM), which can be effectively used in the treatment of a number of diseases, wounds, and disorders (Dompe et al., 2020; Bunch, 2023). A well-accepted theory holds that the light energy given to tissues is absorbed by the cell chromophores, encouraging the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (Glass, 2021). Understanding the processes behind the effects of PBM has been of significant interest. Nevertheless, some researchers have observed favorable effect of ATP generation on oxidative stress, survival, and tissue regeneration (da Silva et al., 2023; Prado et al., 2023).
Effect of LASER on PDLSCs
The effect of LASERs in periodontal regeneration is well established. Initially, various studies were done in the past to identify the effects of LASERs on native PDL cells. Studies have showed that stretched periodontal ligament cells during orthodontic treatment demonstrated marked reduction in the level of pro-inflammatory mediators on the application of diode LASERs (Ozawa et al., 1997; Yamauchi et al., 2018).
With advances in orthodontic research, it is understood that tooth movement was a PDL phenomenon which occurred as a result of coupled resorptive and regenerative activities of the periodontium (Li et al., 2021). With the advent of stem cell isolation techniques, it was later seen that not only fully differentiated PDL cells but also these stem cells residing in the periodontal ligament, took part in regeneration (Costela-Ruiz et al., 2022). As it is known that regeneration involves the Melcher’s triad, the cells and in particular, the stem cells become an indispensable tool to achieve optimal regeneration (Ward, 2022; Yi et al., 2022). To expedite the regenerative potential of these stem cells, various light sources including LASERs and LEDs have been proven to be beneficial in the stimulation of the PDLSCs as mentioned in Table 1. It is interesting to know that the maximal beneficial role of PDLSCs can be achieved only at certain irradiation settings, thereby making the wavelength, irradiation time interval and the energy setting to be the key regulating factors in optimal stimulation of PDLSCs by light sources (Oyebode and Houreld, 2022; da Silva et al., 2023). LASER application causes the release of a photoreceptor called cyctochrome-c oxidase (CCO), which is found in the mitochondrial respiratory chain at unit IV. This raises the potential of the mitochondrial membrane and produces more ATP, which in turn causes cell division (Signaling in Photobiomodulation, 2018; Pan et al., 2022) (Figure 1).
TABLE 1. Effect of different types of LASERs on PDLSCs.
FIGURE 1. Effects of LASER at the cellular level on the stimulation of PDLSCs.
Literature evidence shows that LASER PBM on PDLSCs significantly increases proliferation and osteogenesis. However, majority of studies show wide variation in the wavelength and energy settings for bio stimulation, and this difference in the amount of power and time settings makes the stem cell proliferation vary (Felician et al., 2023). Initially Soares et al. and Wu et al. have shown there is significant increase in proliferation when the power of 660 nm red diode LASER is increased from 1 to 5 J/cm2 and also when duration of exposure is increased. However, it has been noted that increasing the energy setting or duration of exposure doesn’t change the rate of proliferation or osteogenic gene expression (Gholami et al., 2022a; Gholami et al., 2022b). This signifies that energy settings, time of irradiation and follow up with subsequent irradiations makes difference when the optimal energy setting is applied. Still, there is no standardized protocol to stimulate PDSLCs to the maximum.
It was observed that using 600–700 nm LED in the power of 8 J/cm2 had the highest rate of proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCs and increasing the duration to 3 weeks also proved to be optimal in maintaining regeneration capability (Yamauchi et al., 2018). This suggests that lower the wavelength of light source higher is the photo bio modulatory property.
Further, Gholami et al. compared 940 nm diode and 660 nm (red LASER) and showed that group receiving 940 nm irradiation showed better cell proliferation and differentiation on day 3 and also 3 weeks of LASER application. Similarly, Chaweewannakorn et al. showed that by using three different wavelengths of LEDs, there is a decline in proliferation on day 8th of irradiated groups and stated that inadequate wavelength can cause damage to cell viability of PDLSCs thereby emphasizing the importance of optimal wavelength. Rigi Ladez et al. stated that using a wavelength of diode LASER of 940 nm instead of 810 nm showed a better proliferation of PDLSCs which is in concurrence of Gholami et al. Wang et al. and Etemadi et al. who observed positive effects of LASER irradiation on PDLSCs on day 21 and day 5 respectively.
LASER PBM is a beneficial technique for tissue regeneration even in inflammatory regions and has a substantial anti-inflammatory impact by lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines (Yamauchi et al., 2018). In a systematic review on the effect of LASERs and LEDs on PDLSC proliferation by Mylona et al., it was observed that the stemness and differentiation abilities of periodontal ligament stem cells can be improved by photo biomodulation. On PBM techniques, such as duration, wavelength and energy settings, there is currently no consensus among experts. The usage of a near-infrared (NIR) wavelength at 940 nm may not have the same positive effects as wavelengths between 630 nm and 810 nm. It was said that the fluence shouldn’t be greater than 8 J/cm2 when utilizing LED therapy devices and that it shouldn’t be greater than 4 J/cm2 while using LASERs.
Conclusion
Photo-biomodulation, a property which stimulates PDLSCs and other stem cells in general, is a property specially owned by cold LASERs. With the above-mentioned evidences, it can be noted that by decreasing the wavelength of the LASER, better PBM can be achieved; however, there are various other factors such the spot size, time and mode of irradiation which decides optimal stimulation of PDLSCs. In the future, it can be seen that post periodontal treatments with Erbium group of LASERs which operate at a higher wavelength may still require a LASER of lower wavelength for bio-modulation, thereby giving rise to a dual LASER therapy. The above-mentioned studies in the table hold a lot of ambiguity as different types of LASERs are used with different wavelengths and power settings as studies are mostly done by individual research scholars often funded by commercial LASER companies. Hence, it is necessary for the governing bodies around the globe to come up with a consensus and a protocol to make the most of the stimulation of PDLSCs.
