Abstract：BACKGROUND:Few reports focus on biocompatibility of nano fluoridated hydroxyapatite for dental implants. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility in vitro of nano fluoridated hydroxyapatite modified for dental implants. <br> METHODS:We utilized sol-gel method to prepare nano fluoridated hydroxyapatite and nanohydroxyapatite powders. (1) Hemolysis test:0.01, 0.15, 0.2 g/L nano fluorinated hydroxyapatite solution, saline and distil ed water at a volume of 10 mL were added into 0.2 mL diluted rabbit anti-coagulation blood samples, respectively. Then the supernatant was detected by absorbance values. (2) In vitro cytotoxicity test:Passage 2 L929 cel s were respectively cultured in culture media containing 100%, 50%nano fluorinated hydroxyapatite extract, 100%hydroxyapatite extract, phenol solution and RPMI1640. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was employed to measure absorbance values at days 2, 4, 7 of culture. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hemolysis test in vitro showed the hemolysis rates of nano fluorinated hydroxyapatite groups were less than 5%, which were accorded with haemolysis demand of medical materials. The cytotoxicity test in vitro showed during cultivation, the adherence rate of L929 cel s cultured in 100%and 50%nano fluorinated hydroxyapatite extracts were increasing and cel density was rising up. Cel s were fusiform or polygon, which had no evident differences from negative controls in morphology. Nano fluorinated hydroxyapatite showed nontoxic to L929 cel s in vitro.
