Experimental setup for the hPDL fibroblast experiments. (a) 6-well cell culture plate with untreated controls and simulated periodontitis (left side) as well as simulated orthodontic compressive force (right side). (b) Experimental conditions tested (physiological cell culture conditions): untreated physiological controls (adherently growing hPDL cells at 70% confluence in full medium), simulated orthodontic compressive force of 2 g/cm2 applied by a 17.1 g glass disc, simulated periodontitis by adding bacterial lysate (toxins) of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans to the medium.
