Abstract: The bone defect reconstruction process can use hydroxyapatite is osteoconductive and can retain the original biocompatible shape to enhance hydroxyapatite with osteogenic proteins. To analyze the most appropriate concentration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles using the MTT Assay method and to test the viability of osteoblast cells after being given hydroxyapatite nanoparticle (nHA) derived from unam snail shells. The fabrication of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles from unam snail shells using a mechanical-chemical combination method. Osteoblast cells are obtained from Calvaria rats after being cultured in DMEM. Viability tests of osteoblast cells were done using the MTT Assay method and repeated three times, and then results were measured using an Elisa reader. Viability of osteoblast cells in nHA 1,25 mg/ml (164,60 % ± 0,096), nHA 1,5 mg/ml (151,72 % ± 0,176), nHA 1,75 mg/ml (90,55 % ± 0,243), nHA 2 mg/ml (74,23 % ± 0,301) respectively. ANOVA test shows p < 0,05. IC50 value of hydroxyapatite nanoparticle from the unam snail’s shells to viability osteoblast cells is 2,23 mg/ml. Less concentration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles tends to increase the viability of osteoblast cells. 1,75 mg/ml and below hydroxyapatite nanoparticles derived from unam snail shells are not toxic to osteoblast cells.
