CaO-P2O5-SiO2-B2O3-ZnO bioactive glasses were prepared via an optimized sol-gel method. The current investigation was focused on producing novel zinc based calcium phosphoborosilicate glasses and to evaluate their mechanical, rheological, and biocompatible properties. The morphology and composition of these glasses were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM...

This study was carried out in order to determine the efficacy of CaO-P2O5-MgO-SiO2-CaF system glass ceramics, which are made as implant materials, for treatment of furcation lesions. Glass ceramic granules were implanted in artificial class II furcation bony defects in monkeys. As controls, non-implanted sites were preserved. Radiographic and various clinical examinations were performed before ...

The evaluation of chemical dissolution phenomena of the glasses in general is important because it is related to the bioactivity. This paper aims a comparative study of the bioglass dissolution between in vitro bioactivity test in SBF (Simulated Body Fluid) solution and the chemical durability test, in glasses on SiO2-Na2O-CaO with 6wt% de P2O5 system. The glasses were obtained by melting at 15...

Ferrimagnetic glass-ceramics are potential candidates for magnetic induction hyperthermia [1]. The aim of this work is the preparation and characterization of innovative bioactive ferrimagnetic glass-ceramics in the system SiO2– Na2O–CaO–P2O5–FeO–Fe2O3. These biomaterials contain different amounts of nanometric or sub-micrometric magnetite crystals, homogeneously distributed in an amorphous mat...

The objective of this work is to develop bioactive glass coatings for metallic orthopedic implants. A new family of glasses in the SiO2–Na2O–K2O–CaO–MgO–P2O5 system has been synthesized and characterized. The glass properties (thermal expansion, softening and transformation temperatures, density and hardness) are in line with the predictions of established empirical models. The optimized firing...
