Abstract

The scope of our study was to verify the effects of a new diode laser device with active material composed of Gallium, Aluminum and Arsenic (Ga-AI-As) configured as MOCVD (780nm., 3000mW) for the biostimulation of the cartilage cells in vitro. The condrocytes cells, withdrawn from the cartilage of the medial condyle of the femur of the rabbit, were cultivated, incubated and subject to biostimulation treatment with the laser. The condrocytes cells were placed in 24 Petri dishes at the concentration of 0,25×105/ml and divided into 4 groups: 3 groups (I, II, 111) were treated with the laser and the fourth group (IV) was used as the control group. At the end of the treatment, all four groups, were evaluated with a MTT test and a cell count of the condrocytes cells. Group III (300J, 1Watt, 300Hz, 10′ of exposure time with a pulsating emission) provided the best results in terms of cell viability (MTT test) and for the number of cells found in the dishes when compared to the other treated groups and the control group. The results obtained with the use of this new diode laser Ga-AI-As device in the biostimulation of the cartilage tissue, permits us to consider the use of this device clinically
