Chitosan is a natural polymer from the group of polysaccharides, which has found wide application in biomedical applications to induce bioactivity of implant. The studies described were carried out test imposition of chitosan membranes with varying degrees of deacetylation on the surface of titanium, and then check the bioactivity of the material in vitro, using osteogenic cells MC3T3-E1. Titanium surface before imposition of chitosan coating has been subjected to oxidation. After seven days of the imposition of cells on titanium with chitosan coated, we performed proliferation test using fluorescent microscope Olympus BX51. The observed increase in cell indicates a obtain good bioactivity of the surface, however the adhesion between the titanium and the chitosan membrane is insufficient. Proposed a further modification of titanium surface and chitosan coating process.
