Bioactive glasses and glass ceramics 1 Flashcards
What type of response do bioactive materials elicit at the tissue-implant interface?
Elicit a specific biological response at the tissue-implant interface that results in the formation of a chemical bond
include glasses, glass-ceramics, and ceramics
What do bioactive materials differ in terms of?
Mechanism
Rate
Thickness of interfacial layer
Strength of bonding
What type of layer do bioactive glasses, glass ceramics, and ceramics form at the implant-tissue interface
Undergo time dependent modification of the implant surface
From a carbonated hydroxyapatite layer with tissue Very VERY strong interfacial adhesion
Some glasses, like 45S5 bio glass, also bond to soft tissue
What is the carbonated hydroxyapatite layer structurally and chemically close to
The inorganic phase of bone
Bone composition
70% Mineral phase
30% Organic phase
2 % Cells
Mineral phase of bone components
95% Hydroxyapatite Magnesium Sodium Potassium Fluoride Chloride
Organic phase of bone components
98% matrix made of:
- 95% collagen
- 5% non collagenous proteins (BMO, TGFß: 2% NCP
Cells phase of bone components
osteoblasts
osteocytes
osteoclasts

Five principal components of bioactive glasses and glass ceramics
In order of prevalence: SiO2 Na2O CaO CaF2 (only in 45S5F) P2O5
Compositional features of bioactive glass (distinguish them from normal glass)
Contain 6 wt% P2O5
Have less than 60 mol% SiO2
High Na2O and CaO content
High CaO/P2O5 ratio
