Abstract (original English)

We studied the interaction of human buccal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts differentiated from them with the surface of titanium samples. MSCs were isolated by enzymatic method from buccal fat pads. The obtained cell culture was presented by MSCs, which was confirmed by flow cytometry and differentiation into adipocytes and osteoblasts. Culturing of buccal MSCs on titanium samples was accompanied by an increase in the number of cells for 15 days and the formation of a developed network of F-actin fibers in the cells. The viability of buccal MSCs decreased by 8 days, but was restored by 15 days. Culturing of osteoblasts obtained as a result of buccal MSC differentiation on the surface of titanium samples was accompanied by a decrease in their viability and proliferation. Thus, MSCs from buccal fat pads can be used to coat implants to improve osseointegration during bone reconstruction in craniofacial surgery and dentistry. To improve the integration of osteoblasts, modification of the surface of titanium samples is required.
