[Study on hybrid materials compounded with porous hydroxyapatite and culture cells. 1. Attachment and the invasion of cultured cells to porous hydroxyapatite].
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hybrid material compounded with periodontal ligament cells on human teeth and porous hydroxyapatite. As the first step, we tried to produce hybrid materials compounded with periodontal ligament cells and porous hydroxyapatite, and to observe the attachment and invasion of periodontal ligament cells porous hydroxyapatite. Human periodontal ligament cells which had been scraped off the root with a disposable blade were cultured at 37 degrees C in alpha-MEM plus 10% fetal calf serum. The culture cells were attached to the porous hydroxyapatite in vitro. After 3 and 14 days of incubation, the specimens were fixed in gluteraldehyde and examined using SEM. Other specimens were embedded in paraffin and successive specimens were prepared for to remodelling of the attachment and invasion. Many cells attached to the P-HAP granules, and some cells invaded the P-HAP granules. The results suggest that when these hybrid materials are implanted in bone defects, the cells remain in the defect for a certain period, and exhibit the functions and characteristics of itself.
