objective: osseous defects around dental implants are often seen when implants are placed in areas with inadequate alveolar bone, or around failing implants. bone regeneration in these areas using bone grafts or its substitutes may improve dental implants prognosis. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize the bioactive glass nanopowder and development of its coating for treatment ...

objective: one of the major issues in bone tissue engineering is the design and fabrication of bioactive, bioresorbable porous 3d scaffolds capable of maintaining their structure and integrity over a predictable period of time. one such approach is the fabrication of composite scaffolds. methods: in this study we present fabrication and characterization of novel silk/bioglass-composite scaffold...

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...

conclusions increasing the cu nanoparticles in bioactive glass samples leads to the release of cu2+, which has a positive effect on the antibacterial mechanism, as well as decreasing the cultured staphylococcus colonies found on the bioglasses. therefore, it seems that the nanocomposite/bioglass of cuo is a promising option for aerobic bacterial inhibitor systems in common bone implant infectio...

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...
