Abstract：BACKGROUND:Currently, bioactive glass and polylactic acid have been used in clinical dentistry and plastic surgery; however, their therapeutic outcomes are not satisfactory, because the material properties have some limitations. OBJECTIVE:To explore the cytocompatibility of oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass guided bone regeneration membrane. METHODS:Bioactive glass and polylactic acid were used as the basic materials to prepare polylactic acid membrane, polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane and oxygen plasme-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane, al of which were used to culture MG63 cels. Cel adhesion rate, cel proliferation rate and alkaline phosphatase activity of MG63 cels on these three kinds of membranes were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the growth of time, in these three groups of membranes, the cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate were al significantly increased. Alkaline phosphatase activity showed a decreasing trend after the first increase, and reached its peak at the 7thday of culture. The cel adhesion rate and cel proliferation rate in oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups, while the cel adhesion and proliferation rates in polylactic acid and polylactic acid and bioactive glass groups were similar. At the 3rd day of culture, the alkaline phosphatase activity in the polylactic acid and bioactive glass group and oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass group was significantly higher than that in the polylactic acid group. At the 7th and 14th days, there was no significant difference in the alkaline phosphatase activity among these three groups. These results show that oxygen plasma-treated polylactic acid and bioactive glass composite membrane has good biocompatibility, which can better promote cel adhesion, proliferation and matrix secretion from osteogenic cels.
