Popis: Background and Objectives Dosimetry and treatment frequency are controversial phototherapy issues. Efficacy of dose fractionation on photobiomodulation was evaluated in vitro. Study Design/Materials and Methods Human HEP-2 and murine L-929 cell lines were cultured in complete DMEM media. Photoradiation (670 nm, 5 J/cm2/treatment, 50 J/cm2 total energy delivery), was performed varying treatments per 24 hour period: Group I (Controls)—0, Group II-1/d, Group III-2/d, Group IV-4/d. Cell proliferation was measured using Cyquant® (fluorescent DNA content) and MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrasolium bromide) assays for 240 hours post therapy. A proliferation index: PI = (#Cells Experimentalt ÷ #Cells Controlt) was computed. Results MTT assay results demonstrated maximal response in Group III (P
