Bioactive glass coatings: A review

Surface Engineering, 2011
Bioactive glasses, discovered by Hench and co-workers at the end of the 1960s, are among the most promising biomaterials for bone repair and reconstruction, mainly thanks to their high bioactivity index. Unfortunately, due to their brittleness and relatively poor mechanical properties, their clinical applications are limited to non-load bearing ...

Interaction of bioactive glass with clodronate

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013
Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly growing area of research involving the use of bioactive glass (BG) alone and in combination with different materials. The objective of this study was to investigate the interaction of BG with clodronate. Characterisation of the interaction between BG and clodronate was undertaken using; scanning electron microscopy (

Bioactive Glass Three Decades On

Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, 2005
Bioglasses were first introduced in the early 1970s and since have found wide use in dentistry. The original 45S5 bioglass, as described by Hench, is a silica-based melt-derived glass characterized by a Si02 content of less than 60%, a high Na2O and CaO content, and a high CaO:P2O5 ratio.

Bioactive glasses entering the mainstream

Drug Discovery Today, 2018
Over the past decade, the extended research on bioactive glasses (BGs) has drastically grown because of their bioactive nature and unique ability to deliver therapeutics in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and even cancer research. These strategies mostly rely on the inherent potential of BGs regarding bonding to the living tissues and ...

Surface functionalization of bioactive glasses

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2008
AbstractDifferent cleaning and silanization methods have been applied to bioactive glasses with the aim of covalently bonding bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP‐2) to the surface. Several glasses, with different bioactivity index, were cleaned with acidic, basic, or neutral aqueous media to investigate the role of pH in the formation of silanols on glass

Role of the glass phase in bioactive glass-ceramics

Biomaterials, 1992
Glass-ceramics, or composites with a glass-ceramic matrix prepared by controlled crystallization, almost invariably contain a residual glass phase. A suitable composition for the residual glass phase of bioactive glass-ceramics can be found approximately and controlled on the basis of calculation of a structural parameter Y, which in the simplified ...

Bioactive Glasses—Structure and Properties

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2015
AbstractBioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to show bonding to bone, and they are successfully used for bone regeneration. They can degrade in the body at a rate matching that of bone formation, and through a combination of apatite crystallization on their surface and ion release they stimulate bone cell proliferation, which results in

ANGIOGENIC POTENTIAL OF BIOACTIVE GLASSES

2013
Enhancement of the angiogenic potential of implantable tissue scaffolds is the focus of considerable research efforts in tissue engineering (TE) strategies. 1–3 Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from the endothelium of the existing vasculature, plays a pivotal role in TE and wound healing.
