Most bioactive glasses are silicate-based glasses that are degradable in body fluids and can act as a vehicle for delivering ions beneficial for healing.

The original bioactive glass (45S5) is composed of silicon dioxide, sodium dioxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide and is mainly referred to by its commercial name Bioglass. BG is mainly used for bone tissue regeneration due to its osteoconductivity and …

The purpose of this review is to deliver a literature overview of the clinical results and conclusions about different applications of bioactive glasses, with a special emphasis on three main compositions developed in the last few decades: the standard silicate glass (45S5 or Bioglass ®), a glass–ceramic (S53P4 bioactive glass or BonAlive ...

Bioglass ® is a silicate glass, thus characterized by the presence of silica (SiO 2) as a network forming oxide where the basic unit is the SiO 4 tetrahedron. Each unit shears up to 4 oxygen atoms allowing the creation of the 3D network and connects to …

Aug 1, 2024 · Recently, new compositions of bio-glass based on borate, silicate and phosphate are being developed for various biological applications. According to theory, glasses can be classified as oxide or non-oxide glasses according to their chemical content.

Bioglass is a type of bioactive ceramic material containing P 2 O 5, SiO 2, CaO, Na 2 O and CaO in different ratios. Some commercially available bioglass compositions include bioglass 45S5, which binds to bone and soft tissues, and bioglass 5S4.3 (Ceravital), which binds to …

Feb 23, 2024 · This review paper explores diverse synthesis strategies within the sol–gel technique for producing silicate bioglass with a focus on tailoring these materials for bone scaffold design.

Aug 30, 2024 · In this study, we aim to provide a comprehensive investigation of the melting and sol-gel techniques, with a particular emphasis on analyzing the impact of sintering temperature on the properties of silica bioglasses.

Aug 24, 2018 · The present work presents and discusses the results of a comprehensive study on the bioactive properties of Nb-substituted silicate glass derived from 45S5 bioglass.

In the present study, three silica-based bioactive glasses have been developed and characterized for their surface properties (wettability, zeta potential, chemical composition, and reactivity) and radical scavenging activity in the presence/absence of cells.
