This review focuses on recent advances in the development and use of bioactive glass for
tissue engineering applications. Despite its inherent brittleness, bioactive glass has several …

The role of metal ions in the body and particularly in the formation, regulation and
maintenance of bone is only just starting to be unravelled. The role of some ions, such as …

Biomaterials and tissue engineering are rapidly expanding fields for research and also
commercial exploitation. A greater understanding of the interaction of materials with cells …

The general trend in biomaterials is to use and employ materials that play an active role in
tissue regeneration rather than passive and inert materials. Therefore, understanding how a …

This paper presents the results of a study of the thermal properties, X-ray powder diffraction
(XRPD), NMR and solubility of a range of phosphate-based glasses. Ion release and pH …

Phosphate-based glass fibres (PGF) of the general formula Na2O–CaO–P2O5 are
degradable in an aqueous environment, and therefore can function as antibacterial delivery …

Glass ceramics are a special group of materials in which a base glass can be crystallized
under carefully controlled conditions, which in turn determine the properties of the material …

Over the millennia, men have continuously potentiated their abilities through develo** and
applying new materials and technologies. A number of metallic, ceramic and polymeric …

Iron-phosphate glass fibres based on the CaO–Na2O–Fe2O3–P2O5 system have been
processed and characterised via thermal, XRPD, dissolution rates, diameter and …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze a new endodontic sealer material commercially known as
Resilon™ and to describe in detail the experimental techniques employed that lead to the …
