Experimental study on the effect of bio-active glass in the bone tissue. Part 1.

Abstract

The biological effects of three types of bio-active glass, developed by Nippon Kogaku K. K., on bone tissue was studied in rats. The results were as follows:

(1) No toxicity of bio-active glass was seen.

(2) Implanted bio-active glass was surrounded by newly formed bone tissue.

(3) Tight adhesion between newly formed bone tissue and bio-active glass was confirmed.

These findings suggest that the bio-active glass is a useful material for dental implants.
