The effect of light-emitting diode irradiation at different wavelengths on calcification of osteoblast-like cells in 3D culture.

What the authors concluded

Only 680-nm irradiated samples revealed a significant enhancement of calcium content until the late stages of culture (from days 21 to 42) (p<;0.001). The cyclin D mRNA expression that was investigated 3 hours after stimulation at day3 also show that the 680-nm LED irradiation can enhance cyclin D expression more than others. For enhancing bone mineralization, LED irradiation at the 680-nm is

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 3.1 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
