AbstractOwing to the development of glass 45S5 (Bioglass®) comprising 45 mol% SiO2, 24.5 mol% Na2O, 24.5 mol% CaO, and 6 mol% P2O5, different compositions of silicate glasses have been developed. When these silicate glasses contact an aqueous environment, such as body fluids, they induce apatite lay...
