New Trends in Bioactive Glasses for Bone Tissue: A Review

Bioactive glasses are very attractive materials, used for tissue engineering usually to fill and restore bone defects. This category of biomaterials, show considerable potential orthopaedic surgery because they can promote regeneration. Many trace elements have been incorporated in the glass network, an example is metallic obtain desired properties. Because tolerable mechanical properties, able bond living stimulate its regeneration, this bioactive a particular interest continuous research improvement. The chapter presents history glasses, classification, include summary common fabrication methods, applications, surface coatings, applications future trends relation human bone. review highlight new areas glasses.
