Abstract
The system 58SiO2-34CaO-2MgO-xZnO-(6-x)P2O5, (where x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 mol%) prepared by using Sol-Gel method. Samples examined by using as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) studies. In order to evaluate the in vitro bioactivity samples were immerged in simulated body fluid (SBF) for durations of 7, 14 and 28 days. All bioceramic were found bioactive. Results indicating that the initial presence of magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) hindered the synthesis of HAp. However, it did not restrict the bioactivity. Samples were also assessed for friendly environment for human cell growth, antioxidant behaviour of sample to reduce the oxidative stress on surrounding tissues and samples are also provide the protection against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms. While Mg and Zn may hinder the synthesis of highly crystalline HAP, they can simultaneously improve the biological properties of HAP-based biomaterials, making them more suitable for certain medical applications.
