The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

Diseases or complications that are caused by bone tissue damage affect millions of patients
every year. Orthopedic and dental implants have become important treatment options for …

Over the past two decades, the CICECO-hub scientists have devoted substantial efforts to
advancing bioactive inorganic materials based on calcium phosphates and alkali-free …

Bioactive glasses (BGs) are known for their selective ability to (i) form a mechanically strong
interfacial bond with hard (bone) or soft tissues (gingivae or cartilages)(ie, silica-, silica …

Bioactive materials should maintain their properties during implantation and for long time in
contact with physiological fluids and tissues. In the present research, five different bioactive …

We report on the synthesis by Pulsed Laser Deposition of simple and Ti doped
hydroxyapatite thin films of biological (ovine dentine) origin. Detailed physical, chemical …

The development of new biological devices in response to market demands requires
continuous efforts for the improvement of products' functionalization based upon expansion …

The aim of this paper is to present the current status on animal-origin hydroxyapatite (HA)
coatings synthesized by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique for medical implant …

Synthetic physiological fluids are currently used as a first in vitro bioactivity assessment for
bone grafts. Our understanding about the interactions taking place at the fluid–implant …

Chitosan (CS) is commonly used in the formulation of organic-inorganic coatings, which find
wide applications in the biomedical field. The composite coating of hydroxyapatite (HA) …
