Bioactive Glass: A Review
Dr. Sushma .K | Dr. B S Keshava Prasad [3] | Dr. Tarun G S
Abstract: Bioactive glass (BAG) is one of the most recent biomaterials. Bioglass is one of the important bioceramics as a restorative material, and by managing the material's properties, it is feasible to design more effective formulations for restoration. Bioglass forms a rapid, strong, and stable bond with host tissues. It was discovered in the 1980s that bioactive glasses may be utilised in particle form to initiate osteogenesis, giving rise to the concept of tissue regeneration. Later, it was discovered that the dissolution of ions from the glasses behaved like growth factors, providing signals to the cells. Because of its bioactive qualities, BAG is suitable for a variety of clinical applications requiring the regeneration of hard tissues in medicine and dentistry. This review focuses on an overview of Bioactive glass. It also gives a detailed insight into its composition, preparation along with their properties and clinical applications.
