<h4>Objectives</h4>To investigate whether mechanical vibration at 30 or 60 Hz combined with compressive force alter IL-1β and TNF-α expression in human periodontal ligament (hPDL) cells.<h4>Methods</h4>hPDL cells isolated from the roots of first premolar teeth extracted from four independent donors were cultured and exposed to vibration (0.3 g, 20 min per cycle, every 24 h for 3 cycles) at 30 or 60 Hz (V30 or V60), 2.0 g/cm<sup>2</sup> compressive force for 2 days (CF), or a combination of compr ...[more]
