background: the greater surface of bioactive glass nanoparticles presents an incomparable and promising feature similar to the biological apatite. nanoparticles improve cellular adhesion, enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, and increase biomineralization for periodontal regeneration and dental implants. considering the fact that interaction between periodontal cells and bone g...

bioactive materials including glass and glass-ceramics are nowadays used as medical implants for orthopedic applications. in this study several samples of glass-ceramics have been prepared using both heat treatment and sol-gel processes. the structure and bioactivity of these samples based on their interaction with simulated body fluid (sbf) have been determined. in-vitor, using the raman spect...

objective: bioactive glass is often used as a filler material for repair of dental bone defects. in different studies osteogenic potential of this material was proved, but its dentinogenesis property is in doubt. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the histological pulp responses of calcium hydroxide and bioactive glass placed directly on exposed pulp tissues. materials and methods: twent...

CuO, Fe2O3, MnO2 and ZnO substituted 45S5 bioactive glasses were prepared. Glass derived Bioactive Glass ceramics were obtained through controlled crystallization of bioactive glasses. The formed crystalline phases in bioactive glass ceramics were identified using X ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Density and ultrasonic wave velocities of bioactive glasses and glass ceramics were measured and u...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of Bioactive glass (BG) and Bioactive glass-Hydroxyapatite (BG-HA) in comparison to Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Methods: The sealing ability of Bioactive glass and Bioactive glass-hydroxyapatite mixed with glass ionomer cement and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate used as retrograde filling material was assessed by bacterial...

Abstract — Fe2O3 substituted 45S5 bioactive glasses were prepared. Glass derived Bioactive Glass ceramics were obtained through controlled crystallization of bioactive glasses. Nucleation and crystallization regimes were determined by the parameters obtained from differential thermal analysis (DTA) of bioactive glasses. The formed crystalline phases in bioactive glass ceramics were identified u...

bioactive glasses are silicate-based and can form a strong chemical bond with the tissues. these biomaterials are highly biocompatible and can form a hydroxyapatite layer when implanted in the body or soaked in the simulated body fluid. due to several disadvantages, conventional glass processing method including melting of glass components, is replaced by sol-gel method with a large number of b...

PURPOSE Bioactive glass bonds to bone through a calcium phosphate layer that mimics the structure of the mineral phase of bone. Formation of this layer is inhibited in the presence of serum protein. The authors hypothesize that creation of a calcium phosphate layer on the surface of bioactive glass before implantation will enhance bone regeneration and graft material resorption in bone defects....

Elektrokinetické vlastnosti zmesí minerálov Elektroforetický rozptyl svetla (ELS) je nová experimentálna technika umožňujúca merať spectrum elektroforetickej pohyblivosti alebo zeta (ξ) potenciálu skupiny častíc. Toto spectrum odráža distribúciu náboja a čiastočne distribúciu rozmeru týchto častíc. Avšak, okrem modálnej hodnoty napr. zeta potenciálu častíc rovnakého druhu, z ELS spektra môžeme ...

bioactive glass air abrasion is a conservative technique to remove initial decalcified tissue and caries. this study examined the shear bond strength of composite resin to sound and decalcified enamel air-abraded by bioactive glass (bag) or alumina using etch-and-rinse and self-etch adhesives.forty-eight permanent molars were root-amputated and sectioned mesiodistally. the obtained 96 specimens...
