In conclusion, photobiostimulation with red LED at 625 nm was associated with improved beneficial biological effects as a potential inducer of osteogenic activity on RTV-affected cells. This is the first study that investigated the benefits of red LED irradiation over ARV-treated in vitro osteoblasts.
