The objective of our work is to improve the osseointegration of titanium (and its alloys) used in dental and orthopedic applications. To do this, we have been coating these metals with glasses whose compositions are based upon Bioglass®, which is a bioactive glass developed by Hench et al. Bioactive glasses have the property of forming an apatite layer (and therefore can chemically bond to bone...

There is accumulating evidence that strontium-containing biomaterials have positive effects on bone tissue repair. We investigated the in vitro effect of a new Sr-doped bioactive glass manufactured by the sol-gel method on osteoblast viability and differentiation. Osteoblasts isolated from foetal mouse calvaria were cultured in the presence of bioactive glass particles; particles were undoped (...

The development of bioactive glasses, which began with the Hench’s invention Bioglass®, has considerably advanced over past 20 years toward creation materials that not only chemically bond to living tissue, but also promote tissue regeneration. Some inorganic ions have effect stimulating cells and promoting biological functions, including bone formation. Glass-based a significant advantage in c...

The objective was to investigate the mechanical properties, fluoride release and apatite formation of resin based dental composites on a containing Bioactive Glass (BG) with without silylating agent. A SiO2–P2O5–CaO–SrO–Na2O–CaF2 BG synthesized by melt quench route. This glass commercially available inert (IG) were incorporated into light cured BisGMA-TEGMA resin. composite resins then evaluate...
