Abstract
Mandibular condylar chondrocytes adapt to alterations of the microenvironment. Ihh and PTHrP are sensitive to static pressure. Our findings suggest that static pressure accelerated the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of condylar chondrocytes, which may influence the pathological progress of temporomandibular diseases.
