<p align="LEFT">The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability and biomechanical properties of artificial human oral</p>
<p align="LEFT">mucosa stroma (HOMS) subjected to cryopreservation with different cryoprotectant solutions.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Artificial HOMS based on a fibrin?agarose matrix with human gingival fibroblasts cultured 7 days</p>
<p align="LEFT">in vitro were cryopreserved with three cryoprotectant solutions: (A) TC-199 Medium, DMSO 15%, albumin;</p>
<p align="LEFT">(B) DMEM, FCS, DMSO 10%; (C) QC Medium, glycerol. As controls, artificial HOMS not subjected to</p>
<p align="LEFT">cryopreservation (CF) and HOMS cryopreserved without cryoprotectant solution (CS) were used. Histological</p>
<p align="LEFT">analysis by light microscopy showed that solutions A and B preserved a pattern of porosity similar</p>
<p align="LEFT">to values in CF. Based on the number of intact cells in the fibrin?agarose matrix, substitutes preserved</p>
<p align="LEFT">with solution B showed the best results. Cell proliferation detected with PCNA immunochemical methods</p>
<p align="LEFT">showed that the cell proliferation index was highest in substitutes cryopreserved with solution B. The</p></font></font>
