This study investigated the photobiomodulation effect of pulsed and continuous blue diode laser on osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells. Periodontal Ligament Stem cells were seeded in 96-well plates, and 450 nm blue laser irradiation procedure was performed a day after cell seeding. Each experimental group was divided into two subgroups according to their energy density and irradiation duration: Continuous wave (100 mW, 10s, 2 J/cm and 100 mW, 20 s, 4 J/cm) and pulse wave (200 mW, 10 s, 2 J/cm and 200 mW, 20 s, 4 J/cm and duty cycle 50% for both).

Background: Peri-implantitis poses a significant challenge in dental implantology due to its potential to result in the loss of supporting tissue around dental implants. Surgical reconstruction is often recommended for intrabony defects, accompanied by various adjunctive therapies, such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), for bacterial decontamination. However, the long-term efficacy of such treatments remains unclear.
