History of bioactive glass
When it was first introduced in 1969, Bioglass® answered a profound question: could a man-made material bond with living bone? Initial experiments, which involved implanting Bioglass® into rat femurs, revealed something extraordinary—it not only bonded with the bone but also triggered new bone growth. This groundbreaking discovery led to a 15-year journey of scientific exploration, uncovering the reasons behind this unique behavior and the material’s ability to stimulate osteoproduction. Bioglass® transformed medical science, becoming a beacon of possibility in bone regeneration and beyond.
The journey to uncover the “why” behind Bioglass®’s bone-regenerating abilities provided profound insights at the University of Florida and Imperial College London. Researchers discovered that Bioglass® released ions that influenced bone cell behavior at a genetic level, promoting bone regeneration. Early experiments demonstrated how soluble silica and calcium ions from Bioglass® enhanced bone stem cell differentiation and proliferation. This led to the understanding that Bioglass® creates a bioactive environment, optimizing the kinetics of bone bonding and regeneration.

FAQs
Bioactive glass is a type of glass that can bond with living tissues and stimulate biological responses, such as tissue healing and regeneration. It is commonly used in medical applications like bone repair, implants, and wound healing.
Bioactive glass interacts with the body by forming a bond with the surrounding tissue, promoting the growth of new bone and enhancing healing. When implanted, it releases ions that encourage cell proliferation and mineralization, aiding in tissue repair.
Bioactive glass is primarily used in bone grafts, dental fillings, and implants. It is also used in tissue engineering, wound healing, and as a material for drug delivery systems due to its ability to support cell growth and regeneration.
Yes, bioactive glass is considered safe for use in medical devices. It is biocompatible, meaning it does not cause adverse reactions when implanted in the body. It has been extensively studied for use in bone and dental applications.
Yes, bioactive glass is highly effective in bone regeneration. It helps in stimulating bone growth and repairing bone defects by bonding to bone tissue and promoting the formation of new bone cells.
Unlike traditional ceramics, which are inert, bioactive glass can bond chemically with biological tissue. This unique property makes it particularly useful in medical applications, as it encourages the body’s natural healing processes and integrates seamlessly with the surrounding tissue.
