Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices and methods for stimulating cell proliferation. In one implementation, a method for increasing cell proliferation is provided. The method includes providing a vibrational dental device configured to vibrate at a frequency higher than about 60 Hz. The method also includes mechanically stimulating, using the vibrational dental device, cells for a treatment period of less than about 10 to 20 minutes daily. The method may further include generating a peak acceleration magnitude in the horizontal direction substantially greater than that in the vertical direction. The number of the cells at the end of the period of time is increased. The cells may include at least one of human osteoblasts and fibroblasts.

Claim (Index 23):
A dental device for increasing cell proliferation, the dental device comprising means for\n mechanically stimulating cells, including at least one of human osteoblasts and periodontal ligament fibroblasts, at a frequency higher than about 60 Hz for a treatment period of less than about 10 minutes daily, wherein a peak acceleration magnitude generated by the vibrational dental device in the horizontal direction is substantially greater than that in the vertical direction.
