Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CO2lasers on the proliferation and differentiation of dental pulp cells, and their latent self-recovery in connection with their stemness using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry.Materials and methods:The first molars from male Sprague–Dawley rats, each weighing ∼150–200 g, were used for this study. The upper first molars were irradiated with a 10,600 nm wavelength CO2laser under identical parameters (2 W CO2laser, energy 4J, energy density 203.84 J/cm2for 8.8 sec) through the dentin of the occlusal surface. The molars were extracted immediately, or at 1, 3 or 5 days after the laser irradiation. RT-PCR analysis using primers specific for heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2), dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), and dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), and immunohistochemistry using antibodies specific for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), ABCG2, CD34, and CD44 were performed.Results:RT-PCR analysis revealed that Hsp70 mRNA expression in the immediate group and ABCG2 mRNA expression at day 1 were the highest. DSPP and DMP1 mRNA expression in the laser-irradiated groups increased gradually, reaching its peak on the 5th day of the experiment, although no significant difference found among groups with regard to DMP1 expression. Immunohistochemically, PCNA-positive cells were observed at all times after the laser irradiation; however, they were most evident on day 3. CD44-positive cells were observed strongly on day 1 and day 3, while ABCG2-positive cells were the most evident on day 3.Conclusions:These results demonstrate that CO2laser irradiation induces degeneration in the pulp tissue, which is then repaired by newly formed odontoblast-like cells.
