Effect of Sr, Zn, and Ce Substitution on the Properties of Bioactive Glasses |Biomedgrid

As well as improving the life of people of all ages, a rise in the life expectancy of people has led to an increased demand for new restoring and augmentation materials that have applications in therapies for bone pathologies. Bioactive Glasses (BGs) have revolutionized the field of biomaterials as they have been generally accepted to be able to promote both hard and soft living tissues regeneration and self-repair. This brief review will discuss the effect of metallic ions substitution on the properties of bioactive glasses for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
