Mechanical stress by an orthodontic appliance induces biologically active substances. Fibroblast growth factor is a multifunctional cytokine that has various effects on fibroblast cells, and fibroblast growth factor-2 plays an important role in remodeling of the periodontal ligament. The receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) is an important protein involved in osteoclastogenesis and we recently reported that RANKL levels were increased by compression force in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effects of compression force on fibroblast growth factor-2 and RANKL production by human periodontal ligament cells.
