Dental Research Study: Effects of red light-emitting diode (LED) therapy on dental pulp cells (DPCs)

This research explored the effects of red light-emitting diode (LED) therapy on dental pulp cells (DPCs). A 653-nm LED was used to irradiate the cells at intervals of 20 seconds, with exposures extending up to 120 seconds. Enhanced cell growth was noted at both 3 and 7 days post-irradiation following exposures of 40 seconds (149 mJ/cm²) and 60 seconds (224 mJ/cm²).

A unique finding was that doubling the exposure on days 1 and 4 of a week-long culture significantly boosted cell growth when compared to a single exposure. The study further revealed increased proliferation rates, which correlated with elevated levels of ATP, nitric oxide (NO), and mitochondrial metabolic activity, even when NO-synthase activity was inhibited.

The therapy also mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and enhanced in vitro mineralization, suggesting the process was independent of autocrine signaling. Overall, the study demonstrated that 653-nm LED irradiation significantly promotes tissue repair-related responses in DPCs, primarily through enhanced mitochondrial activity.

 I’m blown away from the results of this technology and how well this is working with our patients for brain care and peripheral neuropathy”

I’ve been using NeurocarePro for years, and their quality is always consistent. They have helped my practice with support. I highly recommend using NeurocarePro products and accessing their team of professionals for assistance with implementation and protocol needs.”

“UNBELIEVABLE Results!!! I purchased the 2-port controller with the lumbar pad from my doctor in hopes for improving the appearance of a 30yr old keloid scar on my stomach (it was raised & discolored) I am over the moon thrilled with the results. It has not only smoothed out to my skin surface but has completely returned to my original skin tone. I have actually had surgery to revise this incision with zero results, so as you can imagine Neurocare Pro therapy has provided me with a small miracle. Cannot thank you enough.“

Kim G., Patient

“I was in a car accident where I suffered head trauma and applied Neurocare Pro products and protocols and it has been an amazing journey to better health. I saw the results happen to ME and became such a believer that I am now an advocate and affiliate of Neurocare Pro products myself!“
