Bioglass™

A type of bioactive glass (45S5 glass), composed of calcium salts, phosphorous, sodium salts and silicates—essential elements of mineralized bone—which bonds with bone and promotes bone regeneration
Indications Mandibular augmentation, repair of damaged middle ear
Pros Low bioactivity
Cons Mechanical weakness, low fracture resistance

bioglass,

n a fused silica-containing aluminum oxide that presents a surface-reactive glass film compatible with connective and epithelial tissues. Bioglass is used as a surface coating in blade and endosteal implants.
