Abstract:

In dental practice, light with a wavelength of 400—500 nm is widely used. The electromagnetic waves of this visible light spectrum have shades of celestial colors — blue and cyan. This light can be generated by laser technology and induced by diode and halogen lamps, as well as a device based on a plasma arc. This article shows the studies representing the properties of light with a wavelength of 400 nm-500 nm and the features of its interaction with living cells and tissues.

Keywords:

review
blue light
reactive oxygen species
antimicrobial effect
chromophores
bacterial cell culture
fibroblast cells
light emitting diode — LED
