Abstract
Effect of Sr, Zn, and Ce Substitution on the Properties of Bioactive Glasses
Highlights
As well as improving the life of people of all ages, a rise in the life expectancy of people has led to an increased demand for new restoring and augmentation materials that have applications in therapies for bone pathologies
Hench [6], who initiated this subject of research with his colleagues in the early 1970s [6], gave us a good definition of bioactive materials; “A bioactive material is one that elicits a specific biological response at the interface of the material which results in the formation of a bond between the tissues and the material”, Hench and his research team discovered that a certain composition of glass in the system SiO2-CaO-Na2O-P2O5 was able to form a bond with bone once they are implanted
The 45S5 bioactive glass composition, known as Bio glass, has approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 45S5 Bioglass is used in clinical treatments of periodontal diseases as bone filler as well as in middle ear surgery [7]
