The surface reactivity of different sets of glasses and glass-ceramics belonging to the SiO 2–
P 2 O 5–CaO–MgO–K 2 O–Na 2 O system have been investigated. The attention was …

Glass-ceramics are formed from metastable glasses that crystallize to one or more ceramic
phases upon heating. Most bioactive glass-ceramics require conventional sintering in an …

Bioactive glasses have been used successfully as bone-filling materials in orthopaedic and
dental surgery, but their poor mechanical strength limits their applications in load-bearing …

The irruption of additive manufacturing techniques opens the possibility to develop three-
dimensional structures with complex geometries and high precision. In the current …

In the last years, bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics drew the attention for their
application in the production of implants. Among them, Bioglass® 45S5 is the most …

Bioactive glasses in the system SiO2–CaO–Na2O–P2O5 were synthesized pure and doped
with magnesium or zinc by melt-derived method. The bioactivity was studied during in vitro …

Bioactivity and ingrowth of ceramic implants is commonly enhanced by a suitable
interconnected porous network. In this work, the laser machining of CaSiO3‒Ca3 (PO4) 2 …

The effect of two reactive gases on the properties of bioactive glass thin films produced by
pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was studied. The ablation of a bioactive silica-based glass …

45S5 Hench bioglass (BG) has gained interest in research because of its potential clinical
