Bone defect may be considered critical or not. In many cases, the bone loss will be repaired by the organism normally, without leaving any bony sequels. But even then the time it takes to repair, will bring some temporary sequel to the patient. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the influence of mesenchymal stem cells cultured on collagen membranes in the femur bone repair in rats. 14 Kyoto rats were used. Two animals were marrow donors and twelve formed the sample. The animals were subjected to four tissue damage in the right femur: Group 1 - with mesenchymal stem cells diluted with normal saline and covered with collagen membrane; Group 2, with mesenchymal stem cells diluted into gel of hydroxypropilmethylcellulose (HPMC); Group 3, with mesenchymal cells undifferentiated diluted into gel of HPMC and harvested by a collagen membrane; and Group 4, control group, spontaneous repair. Four animals were euthanized at 7, 18 and 30 days postoperatively and evaluated by hematoxilin and eosin histology and by scanning electron microscopy. The present study suggests that the use of mesenchymal stem cells do not contribute to accelerate the process of bone repair in not critical defects. All groups had fulfilled the bone cavity in 30 days, although only the control group had a cortical bone formation in its outer portion. The use of biomaterials may also delay the process of bone repair, since the body will have to absorb this biomaterial, instead of forming new bone.
