Abstract:
Melt-derived bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics are class A bioactive materials, exhibiting surface bioreactivity in contact with physiological fluids, making them significant in developing bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds. Their biological performance relates to the effect of released ionic dissolution products on osteogenesis and angiogenesis. This chapter discusses the fabrication of three-dimensional, highly porous bioactive glass scaffolds ...
