Abstract

Calcium- and phosphorus-containing materials based on glass (glass, sitalls, composites, coatings) for medical applications characterized by the ability to fuse with living bone tissue were examined. Current concepts concerning the nature of this phenomenon with respect to the physicochemical and biochemical processes which take place on the surface of the implant were reported. The effect of different factors (composition, micro- and macrostructure of the material, composition of the medium) on the bioactivity of the materials was discussed.
