Bioglass is a bioactive material which causes a proper biological response from the tissue through the formation of a bond with the hard bone tissue. These compounds are mainly used in repairing and modifying damaged bone tissues. The unique property that makes a difference between bio glasses and other bioactive ceramics is the chemical control of these compounds. Different oxides of calcium (CaO), silicon (SiO2), and phosphorus (P2O5) form different types of bioactive glasses. Depending on amount of these oxides, the bio glass would be able to connect to a variety of soft and hard tissues without the formation of fibrous tissue. An active layer will be formed in the interface of the bio glass surface and the body tissue which contributes as a bond in the interface between bio glass and tissue. The presence of bioactive glass phase causes a faster body response in repairing bone and making bond with it. NickCeram Razi Co. studies on various combinations of bioactive glass (45S5, 58S, 63S) has shown that using bio glass as implants in body, will have no local or systemic toxic effects and no inflammation will be followed. The substance can contribute to a faster stabilizing of bone and dental implants along with a decrease in the treatment duration.
