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 ...

poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite (pbgha) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/ bioactive glass (pbg) nanocomposite coatings with bone. materials and methods: sol-gel derived 58s bioactive glass nanoparticles, 50/50 wt% poly (lactic acid)/poly (glycolic acid) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were used to prepare the coatings. the nanocomposite coatings were characterized by ...

BACKGROUND The use of different bioactive materials as coating on dental implant to restore tooth function is a growing trend in modern Dentistry. In the present study, hydroxyapatite and the bioactive glass-coated implants were evaluated for their behavior in osseous tissue following implantation in 14 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite formulated and prepared...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction of bioactive and biodegradable poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite (PBGHA) and poly (lactide-co-glycolide)/bioactive glass (PBG) nanocomposite coatings with bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sol-gel derived 58S bioactive glass nanoparticles, 50/50 wt% poly (lactic acid)/poly (glycolic acid) and hydroxyapatite na...

Coating Ti-based implants with bioactive materials promotes joining between the prostheses and the bone as well as increasing long-term implant stability. In the present work, the interface between Ti-6Al-4V and bioactive silicate glass coatings, prepared using a simple enameling technique, is analyzed. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy of the glass/alloy interface shows the form...

ÐOngoing research is reported aimed at improving bio®xation through the use of bioactive glass coatings on Ti-based implant alloys. The optimized processing conditions for coating with one promising bioactive glass composition are discussed, and the stress corrosion crack growth behavior in a simulated human physiological environment is presented. This glass can be successfully used to coat Ti ...

The development of bioactive glass-ceramic materials has been a topic of great interest aiming at enhancing the mechanical strength of traditional bioactive scaffolds. In the present study, we test and demonstrate the use of Biosilicate® glass-ceramic powder to fabricate bone scaffolds by the foam replica method. Scaffolds possessing the main requirements for use in bone tissue engineering (95%...
