Dental glass-ceramics (DGCs) are developed by controlled crystallization of oxide glasses
and form an important group of biomaterials used in modern dentistry. They are also of great …

Bioactive glass and glass ceramic materials are widely used as substitutes for bone
augmentation and restoration, in orthopaedic, dental and maxillofacial surgery and in the …

In this work, the 45S5 bioactive glass was synthesized through an aqueous sol–gel method.
Characteristic functional groups were evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy …

Bioactive glasses (BGs) are known for their selective ability to (i) form a mechanically strong
interfacial bond with hard (bone) or soft tissues (gingivae or cartilages)(ie, silica-, silica …

The deposition of thin films of bioactive materials is the most common approach to improve
the bone bonding ability of an implant surface. With this purpose, several wet and plasma …

Biodegradable metals and alloys are promising candidates for biomedical bone implant
applications. However, due to the high rate of their biodegradation in human body …

Owing to enhanced biocompatibility and osseointegration, hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings
are often applied to biomedical devices that are implanted directly on the bone. Although …

Bioactive glasses are well-known materials suitable for bone-related applications thanks to
their biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In order to improve their in vivo performance …

Electrospun scaffolds are emerging as extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking structures for
tissue engineering thanks to their nanofibrous architecture. For the development of suitable …

The aim of the present paper is to develop ceramic thin films by laser ablation in order to
improve the biological behaviour of metallic implants dedicated to hard tissue restoration …
